Abstract

We report the synthesis of alkoxy-functionalized Mn(III)–A3-corrole and Mn(V)–corrole complexes. Depending on the length of the alkoxy chain attached to the meso-tetrafluoropenyl moiety, the oxidation state of the central manganese ion could either be tuned to +III in case of O–C6 or O–C12 chains, or to +V in case of O–C18 chains. The Mn(V)–corrole displays metal-centered redox chemistry in solution. Reduction with SnCl2 or Ph3P leads to the clean conversion yielding the corresponding Mn(III) derivative.

  • 22 The following procedures are representative. General Procedure for the SNAr Reactions Compound 1 and NaH (30 equiv, 60%, in mineral oil) were placed in a three-neck round-bottom flask under argon. THF and hydroxy nucleophile (4 equiv) were added, and the reaction mixture was refluxed and stirred for 75 min. The reaction was monitored by TLC and after complete conversion H2O (8 mL) was added to the mixture. The organic solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Sat. NH4Cl solution (10 mL) was added to the aqueous phase, and the solution was extracted twice with CH2Cl2. The combined organic phases were extracted three times with H2O. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Purification was performed by column chromatography (silica gel; CH2Cl2–heptanes, 2:3) to obtain product 2ac in 90, 93, and 95% yield, respectively. General Procedure and Comments for the Metalation Reactions Free-base corroles 2ac (0.014 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (3 mL), Mn(OAc)2·4H2O (34.3 mg, 140 μmol, 10 equiv) was added, and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 30 min under aerobic conditions. The DMF was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified via column chromatography (silica gel; CH2Cl2–MeOH, 2:1). The products 3ac were obtained in 68, 72, and 69% yield, respectively. Metalation experiments of the derivatives 2a and 2b under O2 and reflux conditions for 120 min led only to traces of the oxidized compounds. The metalation of 2a and 2b under dilute conditions did not afford high-valent manganese(+V) corroles.
