| Abstract | Enolizations of 2-methylcyclohexanone by lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) in the presence of three chelating ligands-trans-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylcyclohexanediamine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, and dimethoxyethane-reveal an approximate 40-fold range of rates. NMR spectroscopic analyses and rate studies reveal isostructural transition structures based on monomeric LiHMDS for the diamines. Rate studies of LiHMDS/dimethoxyethane-mediated enolizations implicate a substantial number of monomer- and dimer-based mechanisms. The rate laws vary for the three ligands because of ligand-dependent structural differences in both the reactants and the transition structures. The importance of LiHMDS-ketone complexes and the role of hydrocarbon cosolvents are discussed. |
