42 Science of Synthesis 1.1 Organometallic Complexes of Nickel<br />

4-(2-Methylallyl)cyclohexanol (29,R 1 = 4-hydroxycyclohexyl); Typical Procedure: [8]<br />

Di-ì-bromobis[(ç 3 -2-methylallyl)nickel] (28; 0.55 g, 1.42 mmol) was weighed under N 2 or<br />

argon into a flask equipped with a three-way stopcock and rubber septum. DMF (4.0 mL,<br />

distilled at 508C/30 Torr from CaH 2 and rendered air-free by alternately evacuating and<br />

filling with inert gas several times) was added via a syringe. Then a soln of trans-4-iodocyclohexanol<br />

(0.643 g, 2.84 mmol, prepared by reaction of 1,4-epoxycyclohexane with HI,<br />

mp 60–61 8C) in DMF (2.0 mL, air-free as above) was added rapidly by syringe. After addition,<br />

the soln was allowed to warm to 23 8C during 1 h and stirred at this temperature for<br />

22 h under a positive pressure of an inert gas. The mixture, now green, was poured into<br />

Et 2O and the Et 2O soln was washed with H 2O (4 ”), dried (MgSO 4), and concentrated at aspirator<br />

vacuum to afford 29 (R 1 = 4-hydroxycyclohexyl); yield: 388 mg (89%).<br />

Other alkyl halides used, together with products and yields, were iodobenzene fi (2methylallyl)benzene<br />

(98%), iodocyclohexane fi (2-methylallyl)cyclohexane (91%), bromoethene<br />

fi 2-methylpenta-1,4-diene (70%).<br />

1-Substituted Acetones; General Procedure: [35]<br />

Reactions were carried out in a 100-mL one-necked flask with a side arm capped with a<br />

septum, and containing a magnetic stirring bar and fitted with a stopcock. The reaction<br />

flask was flushed with argon and placed in a N 2-filled glove bag along with a flask containing<br />

complex 30. The desired amount of 30 (1–2 mmol) was transferred into the reaction<br />

flask through the side arm (in the glove bag), the side arm was recapped with the septum,<br />

and the reaction flask was removed from the glove bag. The complex was dissolved in argon-sat.<br />

DMF (30 mL solvent/mmol complex), giving a deep red soln. Liquid reactants (1.8–<br />

3.6 mmol) were directly added to the reaction flask, while solid reactants were dissolved<br />

in a minimum amount of DMF and added as solns. With organic halides as reactants, the<br />

soln turned emerald-green upon completion, whereas with ketones and aldehydes it<br />

turned brown-orange. Upon completion, the mixture was poured into a separatory funnel<br />

containing 3% aq HCl (50 mL) and Et 2O (50 mL), and was thoroughly shaken. The aqueous<br />

phase was washed with Et 2O (3 ” 20 mL), and the combined Et 2O extracts were washed<br />

with 3% aq HCl (3 ” 50 mL) to ensure complete hydrolysis of the enol ether and complete<br />

removal of DMF. The organic phase was dried (MgSO 4) and the solvent was removed under<br />

vacuum. The crude product, usually more than 90% pure, was purified by preparative layer<br />

chromatography (silica gel) or distillation.<br />

Coupling of Enal-Derived Nickel–Allyl Complexes<br />

with Alkyl Halides and Other Electrophiles<br />

Most features of the couplings described for allyl halide-derived nickel–ð-allyl complexes<br />

also hold true for the closely related enone- and enal-derived complexes. Once the enoneor<br />

enal-derived complex is generated (e.g., 27, 32), couplings with alkyl halides generally<br />

are accomplished in dimethylformamide upon photolysis of the mixture with a sunlamp,<br />

to give products such as 33 and 34 (Scheme 19). [38] Strong donor ligands are not required<br />

for coupling reactions of enals, whereas couplings involving enones require the presence<br />

of pyridine.<br />
