ABSTRACT: 2-Azetidinones substituted with pyridine (2a), quinoline (2b), isoquinoline (2c), imidazole (2d), and benzimidazole (2e) at the 4-position of the four-membered ring have been prepared in order to synthesize tribactams containing a transition metal and its associated ligands, LnM, at the 2-position of the tricyclic skeleton. The developed procedure is compatible with a wide range of transition-metal starting complexes. Thus, the iridium and rhodium dimers [M(η5-C5Me5)Cl2]2 react with 2a−e, in the presence of sodium acetate, to afford irida- and rhodatrinems (1a−j) containing the half-sandwich d6 metal fragments M(η5-C5Me5)Cl (M = Ir, Rh). The reactions of [M(μ-OMe)(η4-COD)]2 (M = Ir, Rh) with 2a lead to irida- and rhodatrinems (1k,l) with the d8 moieties M(η4-COD). The coordination sphere and oxidation state of the metal center in these compounds can be modified, without affecting the 2-azetidinone backbone, by means of substitution and oxidative addition reactions. As a proof of concept, metallatrinems with the M(CO)2 (M = Ir (1m), Rh (1n)) and Ir(Me)I(CO)2 (1o) units are also reported. Osmatrinems 1p,q containing the d4 metal fragment OsH3(PiPr3)2 have been obtained starting from the d2 hexahydride OsH6(PiPr3)2, by reaction with 2a,b, whereas the treatment of the tetrahydroborate complexes MH(η2-H2BH2)(CO)(PiPr3)2 (M = Os, Ru) with 2a yields osma- and ruthenatrinems (1r,s) containing six-coordinate bis(phosphine) d6 metal fragments. The IR stretching frequency of the lactamic carbonyl, the bent angle between the five- and four-membered rings of the tricycle, and the N−CO bond length in the lactamic ring are clearly infuenced by the LnM fragment.



by far the most efficient is the use of β-lactamases.5 These enzymes catalyze the irreversible hydrolysis of the amide bond of the β-lactam ring, yielding the antibiotic inactive. Several classes of β-lactamases have been characterized, leading to the clinical answer of using the combination of the active β-lactam antibiotic and one agent to inactivate the hydrolytic enzyme.6 Tricyclic β-lactams known as tribactams or trinems7 are among the more promising candidates to act as β-lactamase inhibitors. Nevertheless, these inhibitors have a skeleton closely related to the natural and synthetic β-lactam antibiotics, which make them potential targets for the evolution of new βlactamases. Therefore, a drastically different approach to the problem is required. The incorporation of a transition metal8 and its associated ligands as a constituent of the tribactam skeleton is certainly a promising alternative. In this context, it should be noted that there are no analogues in nature and the metal fragment can afford a wide electronic and structural diversity, as a result of the wide range of coordination numbers and polyhedrons of the derivatives of these elements, which can

INTRODUCTION The neverending fight of mankind with bacteria has taken advantage of the evolutionary arsenal provided by fungi (one of the natural enemies of the bacteria) in the form, among others, of β-lactam antibiotics.1 However, the evolutionary pressure derived from the indiscriminate use of such as antibacterial agents has resulted in the apparition of bacteria strains capable of resisting the action, not only of the commonly used antibiotics but also of many of their synthetic analogues.2 In fact, several opinions have appeared pointing that humanity is losing its battle against these pathogens.3 Response to this situation follows two main trends. The first one is to prepare new antibacterial agents able to keep their activity in the presence of bacteria resistant to the already inactive antibacterial agents. The second front is to develop novel compounds to inactivate the mechanisms through which bacteria render useless the antibiotics. Both lines of action are a worldwide priority, since bacterial resistance is reaching unseen levels not only in underdeveloped countries but also in first-world countries.4 Bacteria have evolved several strategies to quench the bactericide action of β-lactam antibiotics: the main one and © 2014 American Chemical Society

be further modified through specific reactions. In addition, a plethora of useful starting complexes are available as metal precursors. The electronic and structural diversity introduced by the metal fragment should allow these systems to be used not only as inhibitors of β-lactamases but also as active antibacterial agents. This paper shows the first metallatrinems, which include four-, six-, and seven-coordinate transition-metal derivatives of Ir(III), Rh(III), Ir(I), Rh(I), Os(IV), Os(II), and Ru(II) ions as a member of the tricyclic system.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Synthetic Strategy. The available electron density of an amidate group is mainly centered on the nitrogen atom. Due to its high basicity, metal ion hydrolysis often competes with nitrogen ion coordination.9 As a consequence, the formation of stable nitrogen-coordinated amidate transition-metal derivatives is rare, in particular when β-lactams are involved,10 although complexes containing ligands with this moiety as a substituent are known.11 The balance shifts to the metal ion coordination when one or more anchors occur so that favorable five- or sixmembered chelate rings can be formed.9,12 Keeping this in mind, we designed 2-azetidinones substituted at the 4-position with an aromatic nitrogen donor group, which should bring the N−H bond to an electrophilic metal center to promote its activation. These metal centers activate σ bonds in a heterolytic manner using an external base or alternatively a ligand with sufficiently basic free electron pairs or hydride.13 We planned a four-step procedure for the synthesis of metallatribactams 1 having a metal at the 2-position of the tricyclic skeleton, with the aim of developing a flexible and easy route to these compounds (Scheme 1). The incorporation of

of the PMP group occurred uneventfully with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) to yield N−H 2-azetidinones 2a−c in acceptable to good yields (Scheme 3). Oxidation of the Scheme 3

Scheme 1

heterocyclic nitrogen did not take place. Extensive decomposition of the starting materials to unknown mixtures of products was observed, however, when the reaction was tested with 2-azetidinones having five-membered heterocycles at the 4-position of the four-membered ring and an allyl group at the nitrogen (3d,e). For these cases, the deprotection methodology described by Alcaide and Almendros involving the sequential use of Grubbs carbene (isomerization) and RuCl3 (oxidation) was employed.14 Treatment of compounds 3d,e with Ru( CHPh)Cl2(PCy3)2 (5 mol % per mol of 2-azetidinone 3) yielded compounds 5a,b having the N-1 allyl bond isomerized to the methylvinyl moiety, which were subsequently oxidized (RuCl3/NaIO4) to the corresponding N−H 2-azetidinones 2d,e. Yields of this oxidation were poor, probably due to oxidation of the five-membered ring at the 4-position (Scheme 4). Irida- and Rhodatrinems Containing Six-Coordinate Half-Sandwich d6 Metal Fragments. The feasibility of the synthesis of the metallatrinems was initially checked by reacting the 2-azetidinone 2a with the dimers [M(η5-C5Me5)Cl2]2 (M = Ir, Rh), using conditions similar to those previously employed to promote the chelated assisted aryl C−H bond activation,15 which do not produce the fragmentation of the four-membered

the metal in the tricyclic skeleton 1 takes place by means of an assisted chelated heterolytic N−H bond activation of the 2azetidinones 2. These substrates were accessed by N-1 deprotection of β-lactams 3 prepared through a Staudinger cycloaddition between the appropriate imine 4 and phenoxyacetyl chloride. Preparation of 2-Azetidinones. Imines 4a−d (Scheme 2) were reacted with phenoxyacetyl chloride, in the presence of Et3N, at −78 °C in dichloromethane, yielding the corresponding 2-azetidinones 3a−d in good to excellent yields as single cis isomers.11e Imine 4e required a modification of the procedure, involving boiling toluene instead of dichloromethane at −78 °C. The corresponding 2-azetidinone 3e was obtained as a 1/4 cis/trans mixture in an overall 39% yield, from which trans-3e was separated to be isolated in 31% yield. Compounds 3a−e bear either a p-MeOC6H4 (PMP) (3a−c) group or an allyl substituent (3d,e) at N-1. The election of the N-1 protecting group was critical to perform the next step. The compatibility of the heterocycle at the 4-position with the method used to remove the N-1 group was the pivotal feature of the synthesis of the 2-azetidinones. Thus, oxidative removal 1821

occupying three sites of a face, whereas the pyridylamidate moiety lies in the opposite site with a bite angle of 75.0(3)°. The separation between the iridium center and the amidic nitrogen atom of 1.989(9) Å (Ir−N(1)) is about 0.2 Å shorter than that between the metal and the pyridinic nitrogen atom (Ir−N(2) = 2.168(8) Å). Both bond lengths are consistent with those reported for N-arylpicolinamidate iridium(III) derivatives.17 The lactamic N(1)−C(1) and C(1)−O(1) distances of 1.428(14) and 1.222(13) Å, respectively, agree with those found in the scarce pure organic trinems characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.16,18 Metallatrinems 1a,b exist in solution as 5/1 mixtures of the two pairs of diastereoisomers resulting from the chirality of the metal center and both CH carbon atoms of the lactamic fourmembered ring. The most noticeable spectroscopic feature of these compounds is the presence of a singlet at 175.8 ppm for 1a and 177.1 ppm for 1b in the 13C{1H} NMR spectra, in chloroform-d, corresponding to the lactamic carbonyl group of the major diastereoisomer, which appears shifted by about 9 ppm toward lower field with regard to that of 2a (167.2 ppm). In the IR spectra in chloroform, the lactamic ν(CO) absorption is observed at 1696 cm−1 for 1a and 1684 cm−1 for 1b, in this case shifted more than 77 cm−1 toward lower frequencies with regard to that of 2a (1761 cm−1). Having demonstrated that the labile four-membered ring of 2-azetidinone was compatible with the N-directed N−H activation, the scope of the reaction with regard to the substituents at the 4-position of the four-membered ring was studied next. Under the experimental conditions previously mentioned, azetidinones 2b,c with quinoline and isoquinoline substituents, respectively, react with the iridium and rhodium dimers to give the respective metallatrinems 1c−f (Scheme 6)

ring. In contrast to the lactamic cleavage, the treatment of the dimers with 1.0 equiv of the 2-azetidinone, in the presence of 2.3 equiv of sodium acetate, in dichloromethane at room temperature for 12 h leads to the irida- and rhodatrinems 1a,b, which were isolated as yellow and brown solids in 93% and 90% yields, respectively (Scheme 5). Their formation can be rationalized as the heterolytic rupture of the N−H bond of 2a, by action of the external acetate base, according to our initial hypothesis. Scheme 5

in excellent yields (80−96%). The reactions of 2d,e, having five-membered heterocyclic rings at the 4-position of the fourmembered ring, with the metal dimers analogously lead to the tetracyclic (2d) and tricyclic (2e) 2-metalla-β-lactams 1g−j also in excellent yields (90−96%). In agreement with the case for 1a,b, the 13C{1H} NMR spectra in chloroform-d of these compounds contain singlets between 177.0 and 179.0 ppm due to the lactamic carbonyl group, whereas the ν(CO) absorptions in the IR spectra are observed in the range 1685−1703 cm−1.

Irida- and Rhodatrinems Containing Four-Coordinate d8 Metal Fragments: Modification of the Coordination Sphere and Oxidation State of the Metal Center. The square-planar iridium and rhodium dimers [M(μ-OMe)(η4COD)]2 (M = Ir, Rh; COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) are useful starting materials to introduce M(η4-COD) moieties at the 2position of a tricyclic β-lactam system. Treatment of these dimers with 1.0 equiv of 2a, in pentane, at room temperature for 4−6 h leads to the metallatrinems 1k,l, containing a fourcoordinate d8 metal fragment (Scheme 7), which were isolated

bite angle of 77.72(15)°. The separation between the iridium center and the amidic nitrogen atom N(2) of 2.028(4) Å compares well with that of 1a and is about 0.1 Å shorter than the separation between the metal and the pyridinic N(1) nitrogen atom of 2.111(4) Å. Interestingly, the N(2)−C(8) bond length of 1.340(6) Å is about 0.1 Å shorter than the related parameter of 1a (N(1)−C(1)), suggesting that the replacement of the Ir(η5-C5Me5)Cl fragment by the Ir(CO)2 unit produces a strength increase of the N−carbonyl bond within the four-membered lactamic ring. In contrast to the N(2)−C(8) distance, the C(8)−O(1) bond length of 1.235(5) Å is statistically identical with the related parameter of 1a. A noticeable feature of the structure is also the association of two molecules through an Ir(dz2)−Ir(dz2) interaction (Figure 3).20

as orange and bright yellow solids in 77% and 69% yields, respectively. Their formation can be rationalized as the pyridine-assisted heterolytic N−H bond activation of the four-membered ring of 2a promoted by the internal methoxy base, although homolytic N−H addition to the metal center, followed by reductive elimination of methanol, should not be totally ruled out, since the square-planar iridium(I) and rhodium(I) complexes have Lewis base character.19 As expected due to the bent nature of the tricyclic unit, four olefinic resonances at 5.71, 5.36, 3.68, and 3.61 ppm (1k) and 5.65, 4.69, 4.03, and 3.91 ppm (1l) in the 1H NMR spectra and at 67.8, 65.9, 63.6, and 62.2 ppm (1k) and 81.5, 79.9, 79.5, and 79.2 ppm (1l) in the 13C{1H} NMR spectra are characteristic for these compounds, in dichloromethane-d2, at room temperature. In agreement with the case for 1a−j, the 13C{1H} NMR spectra also show singlets at 172.6 (1k) and 174.5 ppm (1l) due to the lactamic carbonyl group, whereas the ν(CO) absorptions in the IR spectra are observed at 1687 (1k) and 1680 cm−1 (1l). The possibility of modifying the coordination sphere of the metal center of the tricycle was also explored. From a conceptual point of view, this should afford a general methodology to prepare metallatrinems with not only different metals but also β-lactams having the same metal with properties tunable by changes in its coordination sphere. As a proof of concept, we performed the substitution of the diolefin of 1k,l by CO. Bubbling this gas through dichloromethane solutions of the diolefinic species leads to the cis-dicarbonyl derivatives 1m,n, keeping the tricyclic skeleton unaltered (Scheme 7). These compounds were isolated as orange solids in 90% yields in both cases. Iridatrinem 1m was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure (Figure 2) proves the tricyclic nature of the species, which displays a dihedral angle between the fivemembered metallacycle and the four-membered lactamic ring of 53.57°, similar to that of 1a. The coordination geometry around the iridium atom is almost square planar, with the metal 0.0822 Å out of the best plane defined by the Ir(1), N(1), N(2), C(15), and C(16) atoms. The main distortion of the idealized geometry is due to the pyridylamidate N(1)−Ir−N(2)

The resulting dimer shows an intermolecular metal−metal distance of 3.1821(4) Å, which compares well with that reported for the anion [Ir(Tcbiim)(CO)2]− (3.183(1) Å; Tcbiim = 4,4′,5,5′-tetracyano-2,2-biimidazolate).21 The carbonyl ligands of one molecule eclipse the polycyclic system of the other molecule, whereas the lactamic four-membered rings are disposed in an antiparallel manner. The IR and 13C{1H} NMR spectra of 1m,n, in dichloromethane-d2, at room temperature are consistent with the structure shown in Figure 2. As expected for the cis-dicarbonyl nature of the metal fragments, the IR spectra show two bands at 2061 and 1991 cm−1 for 1m and 2073 and 2007 cm−1 for 1n along with the lactamic ν(CO) absorption at 1706 cm−1 for 1m and 1705 cm−1 for 1n. In the 13C{1H} NMR spectra, the carbonyl ligands display singlets at 178.9 and 171.9 ppm for 1m and doublets at 186.8 (JC−Rh = 63.0 Hz) and 185.5 ppm (JC−Rh = 74.0 Hz) for 1n. The lactamic CO resonance appears at 173.8 ppm for 1m and 174.6 ppm for 1n. 1823

which were isolated as white solids in 82% and 71% yields, respectively. Under the reaction conditions, the starting hexahydride undergoes the reductive elimination of molecular hydrogen to afford the unsaturated d 4 tetrahydride OsH4(PiPr3)2,25 which promotes the heterolytic N−H cleavage of the lactam by the action of one of the hydride ligands. The resulting trihydride intermediates are stabilized by coordination of the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic substituent at the 4position of the lactamic ring. The formation of 1p,q is new evidence of the wide versatility in coordination number, type of ligands, metal elements, and electronic and geometrical environments that it is possible to reach in the metal fragment of this novel type of tribactams through the synthetic methodology designed in Scheme 1. Osmatrinem 1p has been characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Figure 4 gives a drawing of the tricycle, which shows a

The tricyclic systems, including the lactamic four-membered ring, tolerate not only external and internal bases but also electrophilic reagents. As a consequence, it is possible to modify simultaneously the coordination sphere and the oxidation state of the metal center without affecting the sensitive 2-azetidinone backbone. Stirring of 1m in methyl iodide for 5 h at room temperature affords the six-coordinate iridium(III) derivative 1o, resulting from the SN2 oxidative addition of the alkyl halide to the iridium(I) center of the starting metallatrinem. Tricycle 1o was isolated as a white solid in 79% yield. In solution it exists as a 4/6 mixture of the diastereoisomers shown in Scheme 8. The presence of both species is strongly supported Scheme 8

by the 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectra in dichloromethane-d2, at room temperature. The most noticeable feature in the 1H NMR spectrum is the presence of two singlets at 1.51 and 1.41 ppm, corresponding to the methyl ligand, which show a 4/6 intensity ratio. According to the proposed structures the 13C{1H} NMR spectrum contains four Ir−CO resonances at 163.5, 163.4, 158.4, and 158.3 ppm, in addition to the lactamic CO signals at 174.4 and 173.2 ppm and the methyl resonances at −10.2 and −12.0 ppm. Osmatrinems Containing a Seven-Coordinate d4 Metal Fragment: Hydride as Promoter of the N−H Bond Activation. The saturated hexahydride d2 complex OsH6(PiPr3)2 activates C−H bonds of a wide range of organic molecules.22 By protonation with weak Brønsted acids, it releases molecular hydrogen to afford osmium hydride d4 species which contain the corresponding conjugated base as a ligand.23 Furthermore, it has been recently shown that it also activates N−H bonds adjacent to a cyclic carbonyl group such as those of thymine, uracil, 1-methylthymine, 1-methyluracil, and cytosine.24 In agreement with this, the treatment of toluene solutions of this polyhydride with 1.0 equiv of 2a,b, under reflux, for 12 h leads to the osmatrinems 1p,q (Scheme 9),

Selected bond lengths (Å) and angles (deg): Os−N(1) = 2.2062(8), Os−N(2) = 2.1218(19), N(2)−C(8) = 1.347(3), C(8)−O(2) = 1.223(3); P(1)−Os−P(2) = 163.08(2), N(1)−Os−N(2) = 73.70(7).

dihedral angle between the five-membered metallacycle and the four-membered lactamic ring significantly more closed (45.00°) than those of 1a,m. The geometry around the osmium atom can be rationalized as a distorted pentagonal bipyramid with the phosphine ligands occupying axial positions (P(1)−Os−P(2) = 163.08(2)°). The metal coordination sphere is completed by the pyridylamidate moiety, which in this case acts with a N(1)− Os−N(2) bite angle of 73.70(7)°, and the hydride ligands. The separation between the metal center and the amidic nitrogen atom N(2) of 2.1218(19) Å compares well with those reported for osmium amidate compounds26 and is about 0.08 Å shorter than the pyridinic Os−N(1) bond length of 2.2062(8) Å. The lactamic N(2)−C(8) and C(8)−O(2) distances of 1.347(3) and 1.223(3) Å, respectively, are statistically identical with the related parameters of 1m. Because of the bent nature of the tricyclic system, the phosphine ligands of the metal fragment are inequivalent. According to this, the 31P{1H} NMR spectra of 1p,q, in toluene, at room temperature show AB spin systems centered at 27.3 ppm in both cases and defined by Δν = 2873 Hz and JA‑B = 680 Hz (1p) and Δν = 1691 Hz and JA‑B = 670 Hz (1q). In the 1H NMR spectra at room temperature, the most noticeable feature is a hydride resonance at −11.72 ppm for 1p and at −11.70 ppm for 1q, which suggests the operation of two thermally activated site exchange processes for the inequivalent hydride ligands of each molecule. In agreement with this, the 1H{31P} NMR spectrum of 1p at 183 K contains

at −11.48 ppm an AB spin system, defined by Δν = 778 Hz and JA‑B = 77.5 Hz, and at −12.56 ppm a singlet (see the Supporting Information). The high value of the JA‑B coupling constant, for two cisoid disposed hydrides, indicates that HA and HB undergo quantum exchange coupling27 in addition to the thermally activated site exchange. Lactamic CO resonances at 175.2 ppm (1p) and 175.8 ppm (1q) in the 13C{1H} NMR spectra and ν(CO) bands at 1684 (1p) and 1681 cm−1 (1q) in the IR spectra are also characteristic of these compounds. Osma- and Ruthenatrinems Containing Six-Coordinate Bis(phosphine) d6 Metal Fragments: Tetrahydroborate Complexes as Introducers of the Metal Fragment. Complexes containing a tetrahydroborate ligand attached to the metal through two bridging hydrogen atoms are known for the most of the transition metals.28 In solution, they are in equilibrium with the M(η1-H-BH3) species, resulting from the breaking of a bridge.29 In agreement with this, most commonly BH3 is lost from the [BH4]− ligand, generating unsaturated hydride compounds. 30 The wide range of transition-metal tetrahydroborate complexes known and the fact proved in Scheme 9 that a hydride ligand promotes the heterolytic N−H bond activation of the lactam without affecting the four-membered ring prompted us to perform the reactions of the tetrahydroborate complexes MH(η2-H2BH2)(CO)(PiPr3)2 (M = Os, Ru)31 with 2a, in order to asseverate the wide versatility of the procedure. Treatment of toluene solutions of the aforementioned osmium and ruthenium tetrahydroborate compounds with 1.0 equiv of 2a, under reflux, for 12 h leads to the osma- and ruthenatrinems derivatives 1r,s (Scheme 10), containing six-

occupying trans positions (P(1)−Ru−P(2) = 162.33(2)°). The perpendicular plane is formed by the amidic N(1) and the pyridinic N(2) nitrogen atoms of the pyridylamidate moiety, which acts with a N(1)−Ru−N(2) bite angle of 75.11(8)°, the hydride ligand disposed trans to N(2) (H(01)−Ru−N(2) = 169.4(10)°), and the carbonyl group located trans to N(1) (C(15)−Ru−N(1) = 176.50(10)°). The Ru−N(1) bond length of 2.117(2) Å compares well with the Ru−N distances reported for ruthenium amidate compounds26c,32 and is 0.13 Å shorter than the Ru−N(2) bond length of 2.247(2) Å. The lactamic N(1)−C(1) and C(1)−O(1) distances of 1.350(3) and 1.229(3) Å, respectively, are statistically identical with the related parameters of 1p. The 1H, 31P{1H}, and 13C{1H} NMR spectra of 1r,s, in benzene-d6, at room temperature are consistent with the structure shown in Figure 5. In agreement with the presence of a hydride ligand in these compounds, the 1H NMR spectra in the high-field region contain at −14.69 (1r) and −13.33 ppm (1s) triplets with H−P coupling constants of 21.3 and 24.0 Hz, respectively. As expected for inequivalent phosphine ligands, resulting from the bent nature of the tricycles, 31P{1H} NMR spectra show AB spin systems centered at 24.9 (1r) and 52.4 ppm (1s) and defined by Δν = 2341 Hz and JA‑B = 634 Hz and Δν = 2395 Hz and JA‑B = 676 Hz, respectively. In the 13C{1H} NMR spectra, the lactamic CO resonances appear at 174.6 (1r) and 175.6 ppm (1s), whereas the ν(CO) bands are observed at 1679 (1r) and 1670 cm−1 (1s) in the IR spectra, along with the ν(MCO) absorptions at 1866 (1r) and 1881 cm−1 (1s).

coordinate bis(phosphine) d6 metal fragments at the 2-positon of the tricycle, which were isolated as brown solids in 67% and 78% yields, respectively. Their formation involves the heterolytic N−H bond activation of the lactam promoted by one of the hydride ligands of the unsaturated five-coordinate dihydride species MH2(CO)(PiPr3)2, which are generated as a consequence of the BH3 release from the starting complexes according to the previously mentioned general behavior of these types of compounds. As for 1p, the coordination of the pyridyl substituent of the four-membered ring stabilizes the resulting unsaturated monohydride intermediates. Ruthenatrinem 1s was characterized by an X-ray diffraction analysis. Figure 5 shows a view of the tricycle, which displays a bent angle between the five- and four membered rings of 37.92°. This angle is more closed than those of 1a,m,p by about 18, 16, and 7°, respectively. The comparison points out that the transition metal at the 2-position and its associated ligands exercise a marked influence on the bent angle of the tricycle. The coordination geometry around the ruthenium atom can be rationalized as derived from a distorted octahedron with the phosphorus atoms of the triisopropylphosphine ligands



CONCLUDING REMARKS This paper shows the discovery of an unprecedented class of tribactams containing a transition metal and its associated ligands at the 2-position of the tricyclic skeleton and reveals that these metallatrinems can be formed through chelated assisted heterolytic N−H bond activation of 2-azetidinones substituted at the 4-position of the four-membered ring with an N-heterocycle, including pyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, imidazole, and benzimidazole. The procedure is compatible with a wide range of transition-metal starting complexes (halfsandwich and diolefin dimers, polyhydride or tetrahydroborate derivatives) and external and internal bases, including the hydride ligand. This versatility allows polycycles to be built 1825

containing a variety of saturated and unsaturated metal fragments and four-, six-, and even seven-coordinated metal ions (d4, d6, d8). Furthermore, once the metallatrinem has been formed, the coordination sphere and oxidation state of the metal center can be modified, without affecting the sensitive 2azetidinone backbone, through reactions of substitution and oxidative addition, respectively. The metal fragment certainly has a significant influence on relevant parameters of the tribactam such as the IR stretching frequency of the lactamic carbonyl, which ranges from 1670 to 1710 cm−1, the bent angle between the five- and four-membered rings of the tricycle, which changes from 55.55 to 37.92° for the studied cases, and the N−CO bond length in the lactamic ring, which undergoes a notable shortening by replacement of Ir(η5-C5Me5)Cl by Ir(CO)2, OsH3(PiPr3)2, or RuH(CO)(PiPr3)2. It is clear that hard work now needs to be done in order to fully understand the influence of the metal fragment on the relevant parameters of this novel family of tribactams, in particular those determining their activity as inhibitors or antibiotics,33 because the potentiality of their components is impressive given the versatility of metal complexes that can be used to introduce the metal fragment into the polycycle and the possibility of modifying the coordination sphere of the metal through simple reactions.



EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Information. All reactions involving the use of metallic complexes were carried out with rigorous exclusion of air using Schlenk-tube techniques. Solvents were obtained free of oxygen and water from a solvent purification apparatus. Et3N was distilled over CaH2 and stored under argon prior to use. Acid chlorides were distilled under argon prior to use. 1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H} NMR spectra were recorded on 300, 400, and 500 MHz spectrometers. Chemical shifts (expressed in parts per million) are referenced to residual solvent peaks (1H, 13C{1H}) or external 85% H3PO4 (31P{1H}). Coupling constants J and N are given in hertz. Attenuated total reflection infrared spectra (ATR-IR) of solid samples were run on a FT-IR spectrometer. C, H, and N analyses were carried out with a CHNS/O analyzer. High-resolution electrospray mass spectra were acquired using a hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight spectrometer. 4Methoxy-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)aniline (4a),34 [M(η5-C5Me5)Cl2]2 (M = Ir, Rh),35 [M(μ-OMe)(η4-COD)]2 (M = Ir, Rh),36 OsH6(PiPr3)2,37 and MH(η2-H2BH2)(CO)(PiPr3)2 (M = Os, Ru)31a were prepared by published methods. Preparation of 4-Methoxy-N-(quinolin-2-ylmethylene)aniline (4b). A solution of 1.55 g (9.84 mmol) of quinoline-2carbaldehyde and 0.88 g (7.13 mmol) of 4-methoxyaniline in 20 mL of EtOH was stirred at room temperature for 10 h. The formed solid was filtered and redissolved in Et2O (40 mL). Filtration and evaporation of the solvent yielded pure 4b (1.49 g, 5.70 mmol, 80%) as an orange solid.

Structural Analysis of Complexes 1a,m,p,s. X-ray data were collected for the complexes on Bruker Smart APEX CCD and Bruker AXS Smart 100 CCD diffractometers equipped with a normal-focus 2.4 kW sealed-tube source (Mo radiation, λ = 0.71073 Å) operating at 50 kV and 40 mA (1p), 30 mA (1p,s) or 25 mA (1a). Data were collected over the complete sphere. Each frame exposure time was 10 s (1a,p,s) or 20 s (1m) covering 0.3° in ω. Data were corrected for absorption by using a multiscan method applied with the SADABS program.41 The structures were solved by Patterson or direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares on F2 with SHELXL97,42 including isotropic and subsequently anisotropic displacement parameters. The hydrogen atoms (except hydrides) were observed in the least-squares Fourier maps or calculated and refined freely or refined using a restricted riding model. Hydrides of 1p were observed in the last cycles of refinement but refined too close to metals; therefore, a restricted refinement model was used. 1m cocrystallizes with 0.5 molecule of hydroquinone.

(40) The stereochemistry of the two diastereoisomers was determined by means of NOE experiments. The irradiation of the resonance at 1.41 ppm (Ir-CH3) increases (1.20%) the resonance at 5.37 ppm (CH of the lactamic ring), while the saturation of the resonance at 1.51 ppm (Ir-CH3) increases (0.69%) the resonance at 8.66 ppm (CH pyridine).
