CARBENES

There are two main classes of carbene ligands 

Fischer carbenes (B) have a heteroatom substituent on the alpha carbon atom.

Alkylidene (or Schrock carbene) ligands (A) have one or two alkyl or 

l b h l haryl substituents on the alpha carbon atom.

CARBENES

Fischer carbenes are typically found on electron‐rich, low oxidation state metal complexes containing pi acceptor ligands These are electrophilic at the alpha carbon count as neutral twocontaining pi‐acceptor ligands. These are electrophilic at the alpha‐carbon, count as neutral two‐electron donor ligands, their ligation being similar to CO. We can draw a resonance structure as follows:

LIGAND DESIGN

CARBENES

Schrock carbenes are typically found on high oxidation state metal complexes. This polarizes the metal‐carbon double bond so that a partial negative charge can be assigned to the alpha carbon. Hence, Schrock alkylidenes tend to be nucleophilic at the alpha carbon. The reaction below is less likely for late‐transition metals because of the lower oxophilicity of the metal.

Schrock carbene complexes are usually electron deficient or contain strongly electron donating ligands.

CARBENES

In Fischer carbenes, sigma‐type electron donation of the filled methylene lone pair (singlet carbene) to an empty d‐orbital is

Schrock carbenes can be viewed as the coupling of a triplet state metal and triplet(singlet carbene) to an empty d orbital is

Persistent, Arduengo or Diamino‐Carbenes

The best known examples are diaminocarbenes with R2N NR2The best‐known examples are diaminocarbenes with the general formula (R2N)2C:, where the 'R's are various functional groups. 

R2N NR2

The groups can be bridged so that the carbon with unfilled orbitals is part of an heterocycle, such as imidazol or triazol (N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes, NHC)

NHCs are most frequently prepared via deprotonation of the correspondingazolium salts (imidazolium, triazolium, tetrazolium, pyrazolium, benzimidazolium, oxazolium, hi li l 2 2 )thiazolium salts ‐ pKa ‐ 21‐24)
