Reactions of Arylcarbenes with Lewis Acids
View through CrossRef
AbstractThe reactions of the three triplet ground state arylcarbenes diphenylcarbene 1, fluorenylidene 2, and dibenzocycloheptadienylidene 3 with the Lewis acids H2O, ICF3, and BF3 were studied under the conditions of matrix isolation. H2O was selected as typical hydrogen bond donor, ICF3 as halogen bond donor, and BF3 as strong Lewis acid. H2O forms hydrogen‐bonded complexes of the singlet carbenes with 1 and 2, but not with 3. This is rationalized by the larger singlet–triplet gap of 3, which does not allow to stabilize the singlet state below the triplet state by hydrogen bonding. With ICF3, both 1 and 3 form halogen‐bonded complexes of the singlet states of the carbenes. This indicates that halogen bonding stabilizes singlet carbenes more than hydrogen bonding. Carbene 2 reacts differently from 1 and 3 by forming an iodonium ylide, thus avoiding antiaromatic destabilization of the fluorenyl unit. With BF3, all three carbenes form zwitterionic Lewis acid/base complexes.
