摘要
A theoretical study on cationic Rh(I)-N-alkenylamide complexes is presented, which are important intermediates in the asymmetric hydrogenation affording N-acylamino acids. The assumption of different intermediates investigated is based on the inter- and intramolecular equilibrium of diastereomeric complexes in the hydrogenation mechanism. The geometry optimizations were performed at the MP2 level of theory using relativistic pseudopotentials for rhodium, followed by QCISD(T) single-point calculations. The intermediates containing cis- or trans-coordinated phosphines have been compared structurally and energetically, and the influence of solvents is discussed. In the equilibrium consisting of uncoordinated substrate and substrate complexes, all tautomeric complexes were found in the calculation and have a minimum on the potential hypersurface. However, the occurrence of enamine/imine and amide/imine-ol tautomers could be excluded for the catalytic reaction, because they implement irreversible steps (C-H activation, deprotonation) which finish the catalytic cycle and may therefore be responsible for turnover-limiting steps. Only the calculation of an intermediate showing hetero-pi-allyl type coordination can explain satisfactorily the crucial interconversion of the diastereomeric major/minor complexes in a noncoordinating medium. This intermediate is favored for the rationalization of the intramolecular equilibrium. For trans-coordinating diphosphine ligands a T-shaped intermediate with only a coordinated nitrogen atom is proposed.
