The detailed mechanism for the reaction of bare iron(I) ions with tert-butyl cyanide and isocyanide in the gas phase

Abstract: Experimental evidence is presented demonstrating that bare Fe+ does not insert in the C-X bond of (CH,),C-X (X = CN, NC). Rather, initial "end-on" complexation of the functional group induces cleavage of this bond which is followed by hydrogen transfer to X; this results in the formation of diligated complexes of the general structure C,H,-.M+-.XH (Scheme 111, 9 and 12). These intermediates serve as precursors for the competitive loss of C, H, and HX; by means of high-energy collisional activation the products… Show more

“…The elimination of C 2H 4 may also be described in terms of the ion/dipole intermediate, as in the case of o-disubstituted nitriles [16,17). However, this requires an end-on coordination.…”

“…In general, the remote functionalization occurs for "end-on" complexes. In addition, two mechanisms, "aiiyiic" and" ion/dipole," are established for a-branched nitriles; the former is based on insertion into C-CN bond/B-H shift/allylic C-C bond cleavage [16], and the latter involves cleavage of C-CN bond forming an ion/dipole complex followed by H transfer and ligand elimination [16,17].…”

“…8. It is well known that isocyanides react easily by the ion/dipole mechanism to form HNC and M(HNC)+ [2] [5] [32]. Unfortunately the intensity of the MC,H,S+ ions was too low to perform CID experiments [33] in order to see, if indeed they possessed a MS(C,H,)+ structure as this mechanism would imply.…”

“…+ MC,Hi + HNCS (2) HNCS is obviously much stronger bound than butene, and thus MHNCS' is the predominant product. The complete absence of HNCS loss for the early transition-metal ions Ti+-Cr" is strange, however, and might point to a different mechanism for the MHNCS' formation.…”
