4-Amino-1-azadienes 1 react with alpha,beta-unsaturated Fischer carbene complexes at -40 degrees C to give stereoselectively a variety of substituted 3H-4,5-di-hydroazepines 3; similarly, 1-hydroxy-1-azadienes (alpha,beta-unsaturated oximes) 6 afforded the corresponding azepine derivatives 7. Chiral, nonracemic carbene complexes 11 gave azepines 12-13 (d.e. = 40-44%) upon reaction with oxime 6a; the major isomers were obtained in a diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure form (45-50% overall yield) after crystallization. An X-ray structure of 12a allowed assignment of the absolute stereochemistry. The acid hydrolysis of azepines synthesized provided racemic and enantiomerically pure 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds (+/-)-5, (+/-)-9, and (-)-14, as well as diol(-)-15. The mechanism of the reaction of 1 and 2 was investigated by multinuclear (H-1,C-13, N-15, and W-183) NMR characterization of four intermediates (A, B, C, and D) at low temperature. The experimental sequence of events involves: i) 1,2-nucleophilic addition of the unsubstituted imine nitrogen of 1 to the metal carbene function (zwitterion A, -60 degrees C), ii) cyclization to the seven-membered ring with 1,2-migration of the pentacarbonyl metal (zwitterion B, -40 degrees C), iii) reductive elimination and coordination of the metal to the amine nitrogen (intermediate C, -40 degrees C), and iv) thermal decomplexation and tautomerization (intermediate D and compound 3, above - 20 degrees C).
