Photochemistry of 2-Formylphenylnitrene: A Doorway to Heavy-Atom Tunneling of a Benzazirine to a Cyclic Ketenimine.
Journal of the American Chemical Society 2017 December 7
The slippery potential energy surface of aryl nitrenes has revealed unexpected and fascinating reactions. To explore such a challenging surface, one powerful approach is to use a combination of a cryogenic matrix environment and a tunable narrowband radiation source. In this way, we discovered the heavy-atom tunneling reaction involving spontaneous ring expansion of a fused-ring benzazirine into a seven-membered ring cyclic ketenimine. The benzazirine was generated in situ by the photochemistry of protium and deuterated triplet 2-formylphenylnitrene isolated in an argon matrix. The ring-expansion reaction takes place at 10 K with a rate constant of ∼7.4 × 10-7 s-1 , despite an estimated activation barrier of 7.5 kcal mol-1 . Moreover, it shows only a marginal increase in the rate upon increase of the absolute temperature by a factor of 2. Computed rate constants with and without tunneling confirm that the reaction can only occur by a tunneling process from the ground state at cryogenic conditions. It was also found that the ring-expansion reaction rate is more than 1 order of magnitude faster when the sample is exposed to broadband IR radiation.
