Spectroscopic and crystallographic studies were undertaken to gain insight into the mechanism of the highly regio- and enantioselective allylic aklylation reaction catalyzed by molybdenum. The chiral ligand (L*) consisting of the mixed benzamide/picolinamide of (S,S,)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane reacts with a typical Mo precatalyst, (norbornadiene)Mo(CO)4, to give a neutral complex L*Mo(CO)4 in which the ligand binds to the metal in a bidentate fashion through the pyridine and adjacent amide group. Reaction of this complex with the methyl carbonate of cinnamyl alcohol gives the corresponding pi-allyl complex L*(CO)2Mo(eta3-CH2=CH-CHPh). NMR and X-ray crystallographic characterization of this complex reveal the ligand binds in a facially capping tridentate fashion via the pyridine nitrogen, the nitrogen of the adjacent amide group, which has now been deprotonated, and the carbonyl oxygen of the remote amide. Surprisingly, the face of the allyl group open to attack with nucleophiles is that which would lead to the sense of stereochemistry opposite to that which is observed in catalytic reactions. Furthermore, the allyl complex in its isolated form is unreactive toward sodium dimethyl malonate. However, in the presence of a source of carbon monoxide (either Mo(CO)6 or gaseous CO), the allyl complex reacts with malonate to give the typically observed branched alkylated product in high yield and enantiomeric excess. The metal-containing product of this reaction is the molybdate complex [L*Mo(CO)4]-Na+. Reaction of the molybdate complex with linear or branched allylic carbonates regenerates the allyl complex, thus closing the catalytic cycle. Both the allyl complex and the molybdate complex are the only metal-containing species observed by NMR in typical catalytic reactions and thus appear to be catalyst resting states. Turnover of the catalytic cycle therefore involves shuttling of carbon monoxide between the two catalyst resting states. Coordination of CO appears to be necessary to activate the allyl complex toward nucleophilic attack, in effect stabilizing the molybdenum fragment as a leaving group.
