Multi‐Pathway Consequent Chemoselectivities of CpRuCl(PPh3)2/MeI‐Catalysed Norbornadiene Alkyne Cycloadditions
Abstract
Chemoselectivities of five experimentally realised CpRuCl(PPh3 )2 /MeI-catalysed couplings of 7-azabenzo-norbornadienes with selected alkynes were successfully resolved from multiple reaction pathway models. Density functional theory calculations showed the following mechanistic succession to be energetically plausible: (1) CpRuI catalyst activation; (2) formation of crucial metallacyclopentene intermediate; (3) cyclobutene product (P2) …
