Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202401782. [PMID: 38818649 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202401782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
gem-Diborylalkanes are highly valuable building blocks in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical chemistry due to their ability to participate in multi-step cross-coupling transformations, allowing for the rapid generation of molecular complexity. While progress has been made in their synthetic metholodology, the construction of β-tertiary and C(sp3)-rich gem-diborylalkanes remains a synthetic challenge due to substrate limitations and steric hindrance issues. An approach is presented that utilizes synergistic photoredox and copper catalysis to achieve efficient C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-coupling of alkyl N-hydroxyphthalimide esters, which can easily be obtained from alkyl carboxylic acids, with diborylmethyl species, providing a series of C(sp3)-rich gem-diborylalkanes with 1°, 2°, and even 3° β positions. Furthermore, this approach can also be applied to complex medicinal compounds and natural products, offering rapid access to molecular complexity and late-stage functionalization of C(sp3)-rich drug candidates. Mechanistic experiments revealed that diborylmethyl Cu(I) species participated in both the photoredox process and the key C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond-forming step.

Abstract
The copper catalyzed hydroboration of alkynes with B2pin2 was studied by in detail studies of individual relevant steps along the catalytic pathway. A number of reaction steps were retraced by in situ NMR spectroscopy as well as central intermediates and side-products were isolated and comprehensively characterized. A copper boryl complex is central to the catalytic process by inserting the terminal alkyne substrate into the B-Cu bond. The selectivity of this step - depending on the NHC auxiliary ligand - determines the α/β selectivity observed in the product. The latter complex is protonated by the auxiliary alcohol reagent resulting in hydroboration product formation and formation of a Cu alkoxido complex. Reaction of the latter with B2pin2 results in the regeneration of the central copper boryl complex. This alcoholysis step depends on the acidity of the alcohol, in particular on the relative acidity of the alcohol vs. the alkyne substrate. A number of side reactions leading to the hydrogenation product of the alkyne substrate and a bis hydroborated product were identified and studied in some detail. It is concluded that the performance of a particular catalytic system depends crucially on the relative acidities of the reagents and generalizations may be difficult.

Abstract
Highly regioselective hydroboration of unsymmetrical internal alkynes remains a significant challenge for synthesizing valuable alkenylboronate esters. Herein, we describe an easily synthesizable pincer NHC-based Co complex as a catalyst for the cis-α selective hydroboration of unactivated internal alkynes and the cis-β selective hydroboration of activated internal alkynes with pinacolborane. The reaction showcases high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity, and the catalyst displays high efficiency and very low loading under base-free reaction conditions. The reaction scope was demonstrated by alkynes having a variety of functional groups. The mechanistic studies suggest a feasible Co-boryl intermediate to explain the unusual regioselectivity.

Abstract
The direct transformation of alkylboron has emerged as a versatile and powerful methodology for creating carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. However, its potential application in the formation of carbon and phosphorus remains unexplored. In this study, we present an alkoxide base-promoted reaction system that enables deborylative phosphination of benzylic organoboronates and geminal bis(boronates) via selective C-B bond cleavage. This approach allows for the synthesis of valuable tertiary phosphines in good yields under mild conditions. The practicality and industrial potential of this approach are underscored by the operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and easy scalability.

Abstract
The manganese(ii) complex [Mn(iPrPNP)Cl2] (iPrPNP = 2,6-bis(diisopropylphosphinomethyl)pyridine) was found to catalyze the stereo- and regioselective hydroboration of terminal alkynes employing HBPin (pinacolborane). In the absence of in situ activators, mixtures of alkynylboronate and E-alkenylboronate esters were formed, whereas when NaHBEt3 was employed as the in situ activator, E-alkenylboronate esters were exclusively accessed. Mechanistic studies revealed a tandem C-H borylation/semihydrogenation pathway accounting for the formation of the products. Stoichiometric reactions hint toward reaction of a Mn-H active species with the terminal alkyne as the catalyst entry pathway to the cycle, whereas reaction with HBPin led to catalyst deactivation.

Abstract
The development of boron reagents is crucial for synthetic chemistry. Herein, we present a scalable and practical synthesis of diborodichloromethane (DBDCM) through the reaction of trichloromethyllithium with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2 pin2 ). The resulting DBDCM reagent serves as a basic synthetic unit for the construction of various structurally diverse gem-diborylalkanes through controllable C-Cl functionalizations. Moreover, we have developed consecutive tetra-functionalizations of DBDCM for the construction of diverse tertiary and quaternary carbon containing molecules. The use of isotopically enriched 13 C-chloroform and 10 B2 pin2 enables the synthesis of isotopically enriched 13 C-DBDCM and 10 B-DBDCM reagents, which are beneficial for the convenient synthesis of carbon-13 and boron-10 molecules.

Abstract
A recyclable protocol using a CeO2-nanorod catalyst for borylation of alkyl halides with B2pin2 (pin = OCMe2CMe2O) is reported. A wide range of synthetically useful alkyl boronate esters are readily obtained from primary and secondary alkyl electrophiles, including unactivated alkyl chlorides, demonstrating broad utility and functional group tolerance. Preliminary investigation revealed an involvement of in situ formed catalytically active boryl species. The catalyst can be reused for up to six runs without appreciable loss in activity. In addition, we have demonstrated the use of this recyclable catalyst for the borylation of aryl halides with B2pin2, providing valuable aryl boronate esters under neat conditions.

Abstract
Methods to efficiently synthesize organosilanes are valuable in the fields of synthetic chemistry and materials science. During the past decades, boron conversion has become a generic and powerful approach for constructing carbon-carbon and other carbon-heteroatom bonds, but its potential application in forming carbon-silicon remains unexplored. Herein, we describe an alkoxide base-promoted deborylative silylation of benzylic organoboronates, geminal bis(boronates) or alkyltriboronates, allowing for straightforward access to synthetically valuable organosilanes. This selective deborylative methodology exhibits operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, excellent functional group compatibility and convenient scalability, providing an effective and complementary platform for the generation of diversified benzyl silanes and silylboronates. Detailed experimental results and calculated studies revealed an unusual mechanistic feature of this C-Si bond formation.

Abstract
While 1,1-diboryl (gem-diboryl) compounds are valuable synthetic building blocks, currently, related studies have mainly focused on those 1,1-diboryl alkanes without a hetero functional group in the α-position. gem-Diboryl compounds with an α-hetero substituent, though highly versatile, have been limitedly accessible and thus rarely utilized. Herein, we have developed the first α-dihydroboration of heteroalkynes leading to the efficient construction of gem-diboryl, hetero-, and tetra-substituted carbon centers. This straightforward, practical, mild, and atom-economic reaction is an attractive complement to the conventional multistep synthetic strategy relying on deprotonation of gem-diborylmethane by a strong base. Specifically, [Ir(cod)(OMe)]2 was found to be uniquely effective for this process of thioalkynes, leading to excellent α-regioselectivity when delivering the two boryl groups, which is remarkable in view of the many competitive paths including monohydroboration, 1,2-dihydroboration, dehydrodiboration, triboration, tetraboration, etc. Control experiments combined with DFT calculations suggested that this process involves two sequential hydroboration events. The second hydroboration requires a higher energy barrier due to severe steric repulsion in generating the highly congested α-sulfenyl gem-diboryl carbon center, a structural motif that was almost unknown before.

Abstract
The conjugated bis-guanidinate-stabilized zinc hydride complex (I)-precatalyzed chemoselective dehydroborylation of a wide array of terminal alkynes with excellent yields is reported. Further, precatalyst I is compared with a newly synthesized DiethylNacNac zinc hydride precatalyst (III) for selective dehydroborylation of terminal alkynes, and it is discovered that precatalyst I is more active than III. We have studied intra- and intermolecular chemoselective dehydroborylation of terminal alkynes over other reducible functionalities such as alkene, ester, isocyanide, nitro, and heterocycles. The highly efficient precatalyst I shows a turnover number of 48.5 and turnover frequency of up to 60.5 h-1 in the dehydroborylation of 1-ethynyl-4-fluorobenzene (1i). A plausible mechanism for selective dehydrogenative borylation of alkynes has been proposed based on active catalyst isolation and a series of stoichiometric reactions.

Abstract

Palladium catalyzes
the cyclopropanation of 2-substituted 1,1-diborylalkenes
with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane. The relative stereoselectivity
is controlled via a carbene insertion sequence generating an exclusive anti conformation between the R and SiMe3 substituents.
Mixed 1,1-diborylalkenes also contributed to the formation of stereoselective
B, B, Si-cyclopropanes. Orthogonal activation with NaOtBu gives protodeborylation preferentially on the
boron moiety syn to the aryl group. Further oxidation
gives access to polyfunctional cyclopropyl alcohols with controlled
enantioselectivity when chiral boryl motifs are involved.

Abstract
A Cu-catalysed borylation of aryl alkyl sulfones was developed for the high yield synthesis of versatile arylboronic esters using a readily prepared NHC-Cu catalyst. In addition, the selective cleavage of either alkyl(C)-sulfonyl or aryl(C)-sulfonyl bonds of a cyclic sulfone via Cu-free or Cu-mediated processes generates the corresponding sulfinate salts, which can be further derivatised to provide sulfonyl-containing boronate esters, such as sulfones and sulfonyl fluorides.

Abstract
Organoboron reagents represent a unique class of compounds because of their utility in modern synthetic organic chemistry, often affording unprecedented reactivity. The transformation of the carbon-boron bond into a carbon-X (X = C, N, and O) bond in a stereocontrolled fashion has become invaluable in medicinal chemistry, agrochemistry, and natural products chemistry as well as materials science. Over the past decade, first-row d-block transition metals have become increasingly widely used as catalysts for the formation of a carbon-boron bond, a transformation traditionally catalyzed by expensive precious metals. This recent focus on alternative transition metals has enabled growth in fundamental methods in organoboron chemistry. This review surveys the current state-of-the-art in the use of first-row d-block element-based catalysts for the formation of carbon-boron bonds.

Abstract
A practical and direct method was developed for the production of versatile alkylboronic esters via transition metal-free borylation of primary and secondary alkyl sulfones. The key to the success of the strategy is the use of bis(neopentyl glycolato) diboron (B 2 neop 2 ), with a stoichiometric amount of base as a promoter. The practicality and industrial potential of this protocol are highlighted by its wide functional group tolerance, the late-stage modification of complex compounds, no need for further transesterification, and operational simplicity. Radical clock, radical trap experiments, and EPR studies were conducted which show that the borylation process involves radical intermediates.

Abstract
Enantioenriched 1,1-silylboryl alkanes possess silyl and boryl groups that are both connected to the same stereogenic carbon center at well-defined orientations. As these chiral multifunctionalized compounds potentially offer two synthetic handles, they are highly valued building blocks in asymmetric synthesis as well as medicinal chemistry. Despite the potential usefulness, efficient synthetic approaches for their preparation are scarce. Seeking to address this deficiency, an enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydrosilylation/hydroboration cascade of terminal alkynes has been realized. This protocol constitutes an impressive case of chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity wherein the two different hydrofunctionalization events are exquisitely controlled by a single set of metal catalyst and ligand, an operation which would usually require two separate catalytic systems. Downstream transformations of enantioenriched 1,1-silyboryl alkanes led to various valuable chiral compounds. Mechanistic studies suggest that the present reaction undergoes highly regioselective and stereocontrolled sequential hydrosilylation and hydroboration processes.

Abstract
A unified synthetic strategy to access tertiary four-membered carbo/heterocyclic boronic esters is reported. Use of a Cu(I) catalyst in combination with a modified dppbz ligand enables regioselective hydroboration of various trisubstituted benzylidenecyclobutanes and carbo/heterocyclic analogs. The reaction conditions are mild, and the method tolerates a wide range of medicinally relevant heteroarenes. The protocol can be conveniently conducted on gram-scale, and the tertiary boronic ester products undergo facile diversification into valuable targets. Reaction kinetics and computational studies indicate that the migratory insertion step is turnover-limiting and accelerated by electron-withdrawing groups on the dppbz ligand. Energy decomposition analysis (EDA) calculations reveal that electron-deficient P-aryl groups on the dppbz ligand enhance the T-shaped π/π interactions with the substrate and stabilize the migratory insertion transition state.

Abstract
Polyborylated organic compounds have been emerging as versatile building blocks in chemical synthesis. Here we report a selective cobalt-catalyzed deoxygenative 1,1,3-triborylation reaction of allylic ethers with pinacolborane to prepare 1,1,3-triborylalkane compounds. With naturally abundant and/or synthetic cinnamic methyl ethers as starting materials, we have achieved the synthesis of a variety of 1,1,3-triborylalkanes (25 examples). The synthetic utility of these 1,1,3-triborylalkanes is demonstrated through site-selective allylation, protodeborylation, and consecutive carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Mechanistic studies including deuterium-labeling and control experiments suggest that this 1,1,3-triborylation reaction proceeds through initial cobalt-catalyzed deoxygenative borylation of allylic ethers to form allylic boronates followed by cobalt-catalyzed 1,1-diborylation of the resulting allylic boronates.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed method for the E-selective 1,1-diboration of terminal alkynes is described. The tandem process involves sequential dehydrogenative borylation of the alkyne substrate with HBdan (1,8-diaminonaphthalatoborane), followed by hydroboration with HBpin (pinacolborane). This method proceeds efficiently under mild conditions, furnishing 1,1-diborylalkenes with excellent stereoselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. Taking advantage of the different reactivities of the two boryl moieties, the products can then be employed in stepwise cross-couplings with aryl halides for the stereocontrolled construction of trisubstituted alkenes.

Abstract
A general and atom‐economical synthesis of 1,1‐diborylalkanes from alkenes and a borane without the need for an additional H2 acceptor is reported for the first time. The key to our success is the use of an earth‐abundant zirconium‐based catalyst, which allows a balance of self‐contradictory reactivities (dehydrogenative boration and hydroboration) to be achieved. Our method avoids using an excess amount of another alkene as an H2 acceptor, which was required in other reported systems. Furthermore, substrates such as simple long‐chain aliphatic alkenes that did not react before also underwent 1,1‐diboration in our system. Significantly, the unprecedented 1,1‐diboration of internal alkenes enabled the preparation of 1,1‐diborylalkanes.

Abstract
Since a nucleophilic sp2 boron species can be generated in situ under the combined action of an inorganic base, B2pin2 and methanol, research on base-promoted nucleophilic borylation of unsaturated compounds has attracted significant attention. A series of multi-borylated compounds, such as alkyl 1,2-bis(boronates), gem-diborylalkanes, and 1,1,2-tris(boronates), are constructed based on this strategy. These multi-borylated compounds can in turn undergo selective protodeboronation, creating a variety of useful boron-containing compounds. This Feature article documents the development of base-promoted domino-borylation-protodeboronation (DBP) strategies and their applications in organic synthesis.

Abstract
A convenient and efficient one-step synthesis of 1,1,1-triborylalkanes was achieved via sequential dehydrogenative borylation and double hydroborations of terminal alkynes with HBpin (HBpin=pinacolborane) catalyzed by inexpensive and readily available Cu(OAc)2 . This process proceeds under mild conditions, furnishing 1,1,1-tris(boronates) with wide substrate scope, excellent selectivity, and good functional-group tolerance, and is applicable to gram-scale synthesis without loss of yield. The 1,1,1-triborylalkanes can be used in the preparation of α-vinylboronates and borylated cyclic compounds, which are valuable but previously rare compounds. Different alkyl groups can be introduced stepwise via base-mediated deborylative alkylation to produce racemic tertiary alkyl boronates, which can be readily transformed into useful tertiary alcohols.
