ABSTRACT: Benzyltrialkylgermane cation radicals were generated and spectroscopically characterized by nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The germane cation radicals were found to rapidly react with nucleophiles (e.g., alcohols) in reactions that were first-order in cation radical and first-order in nucleophile. The geometries of the transition states for nucleophilic substitutions on benzyl-silane and -germane cation radicals were investigated by using the endocyclic restriction test. Cation radicals containing tethered nucleophiles that required endocyclic transition states with small angles between the bond being formed to the nucleophilic atom and the bond to the leaving group reacted ∼250 times more slowly than cation radicals with tethered nucleophiles where a large bond angle can be accommodated. The results are consistent with the nucleophile-assisted fragmentations proceeding through an inversion transition state.

INTRODUCTION A variety of organosilane cation radicals, including benzylsilanes,1 α-aminosilanes,2 silylenol ethers,3 disilanes,4 and oligosilanes,5 have been shown to undergo nucleophile-assisted fragmentation reactions. Analogous fragmentations of organogermane and -stannane cation radicals have also been reported in the literature,6,7 although relatively little mechanistic evidence has been provided that these reactions are also nucleophile-assisted.8 Experimental data that support a nucleophile-assisted mechanism for organosilane cation radicals are largely from transient kinetics experiments, which show the reactions are first-order in cation radical and first-order in nucleophile. Mechanistic experiments for analogous SN2 reactions of closed shell molecules have typically relied on both kinetics and a determination of the stereochemical outcome of the reactions. To date, only one experiment has been performed to elucidate the stereochemical outcome of an organosilane cation radical nucleophilic substitution. Silacyclobutanes 1 and 2 were subjected to one-electron oxidation by photoinduced electron transfer and found to react with methanol as the nucleophile with inversion of configuration at silicon (i.e., 1+• → 3 and 2+• → 4).1f The use of analogous larger ring silacycloalkanes or acyclic silanes is not possible because the methoxysilane products are not configurationally stable in the presence of excess nucleophile. Thus, an alternative approach is needed to more generally investigate the stereochemistry of nucleophilic substitutions on silane cation radicals and for other cation radicals where the substitution products are not configurationally stable. We describe herein use of the endocyclic restriction test to probe the stereochemical outcome of nucleophilic substitutions on benzyl-silane and -germane cation radicals. © 2017 American Chemical Society

The endocyclic restriction test (ERT) has been most extensively used to probe the stereochemistry of substitutions at a variety of nonstereogenic atoms, typically heteroatoms (e.g., N, O, S, P, Br, etc.).9 In its most common embodiment, the ERT is applied to substitution reactions where a substrate containing an atom whose substitution stereochemistry is to be probed additionally contains a tethered atom or group that will perform the substitution. When the appropriately attached tether is sufficiently short, intramolecular substitution can only realistically proceed by a retention mechanism. To distinguish between intramolecular (retention) and intermolecular (inversion) substitution pathways, double-labeling/crossover experiments are typically the method of choice. When probing the stereochemical outcome of substitution reactions with the ERT using a double-labeling/crossover experiment, it is imperative that any reactive intermediates formed from unlabeled and doubly labeled substrates do not rapidly react with residual reactants to give products, which would compromise the crossover experiment.

this requirement cannot be practically met for nucleophilic substitutions on benzyl-silane and -germane cation radicals. We therefore opted to use a variant of the ERT in which substitution rate constants for two cation radicals are compared: one in which a tethered nucleophile is capable of intramolecular substitution only by a retention mechanism and a second in which a comparable tethered nucleophile is capable of intramolecular substitution by inversion or retention. Our experiments to probe the stereochemistry of nucleophilic substitutions on benzyl-silane and -germane cation radicals utilized silanes 5 and 6 and germanes 7−9, which contain comparably tethered alcohols as nucleophiles. These substrates were chosen for several reasons: prior work had shown that their cation radicals undergo clean fragmentation of the benzylic-Si or -Ge bonds upon photooxidation, similarly substituted silane cation radicals could be readily observed by nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (NTAS), and the cation radicals rapidly react with alcohol nucleophiles.1,6d Additionally, we previously showed that the cation radical of 6 undergoes rapid first-order decay by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution to displace the 4-methoxybenzyl radical.1d Although analogous experiments with benzylgermane cation radicals have not been previously reported, we show herein that their cation radicals, while significantly more reactive with nucleophiles than comparable silane cation radicals, can nonetheless also be generated and observed by NTAS.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

We begin by discussing the reactions of benzylgermane cation radicals with nucleophiles because the kinetics for these reactions have not been previously described in the literature. Reaction of Benzylgermane Cation Radicals with Nucleophiles. Benzylgermanes 10−12 were prepared by standard methods (see Experimental Section) to initially determine if their cation radicals reacted with nucleophiles in a manner analogous to that of comparably substituted benzylsilane cation radicals.1

The cation radicals of 10−12 were generated by the general method previously described.1e Briefly, O2-saturated 1,2dichloroethane (DCE) solutions containing ∼1 mM Nmethylquinolinium hexafluorophosphate (NMQ+), toluene (0.4 M), and ∼10 mM of a benzylgermane were excited with a nanosecond laser (∼10 ns, 343 nm). Excitation of NMQ+ produces its singlet-excited state (1NMQ+*), which is rapidly intercepted by toluene to efficiently produce toluene+• and the N-methylquinolinyl radical (NMQ•) by photoinduced electron transfer. NMQ• is scavenged by dioxygen in 70 times shorter in CH2Cl2.1d The somewhat smaller ratio for the lifetimes of 8+• vs 9+• (∼14) may be reflective of differences in the solvent used for the experiments.

CONCLUSIONS Benzyltrialkylgermane cation radicals have been shown to react with nucleophiles by an SN2 mechanism, similar to analogous silane cation radicals previously studied, although the germane cation radicals are considerably more reactive. Endocyclic restrictions tests demonstrate that the reactions of both the benzyl-silane and the -germane cation radicals with nucleophiles prefer a substitution mechanism that proceeds via an inversion pathway. The kinetic ERT method used here should be generally applicable for studying the stereochemical pathway of other reactions involving highly reactive intermediates where conventional ERT methods (e.g., double-labeling/crossover) cannot be readily applied.

A XeCl excimer laser (308 nm) was used to pump a dye laser containing pterphenyl laser dye for 343 nm excitation. Transient spectral absorptions were monitored at a right angle to the laser excitation by using a home-built, xenon flashlamp system equipped with a PerkinElmer FX-193 flashlamp to generate the analyzing light. The analyzing light was focused into the end of a fiber optic cable and onto the entrance slit of a monochromator equipped with an intensified CCD. A pulsed xenon arc lamp was used as the monitoring light source for kinetics experiments. The monitoring light was passed through a monochromator and detected using a photomultiplier tube. The signal from the PMT was directed into a digitizing oscilloscope and then to a computer for viewing, storage, and data analysis. General Procedure for the Generation and Observation of Cation Radicals by Nanosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy. Transient absorption experiments were typically performed in quartz, stopcocked cuvettes containing solutions with ∼1 mM NMQ+ PF6− (OD ∼ 1 at 343 nm), 0.4 M toluene, and ∼0.01 M silane or germane in dioxygen-saturated 1,2-dichloroethane, dichloromethane, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), or HFIP:dichloromethane. Transient spectra were generally recorded at least 100 ns after the laser pulse to avoid interference from the N-methylquinolyl radical.17 For this reason, fitting of transient decays or growths for kinetic experiments were done only after ∼100 ns.
