[PMID: 38656156 PMCID: PMC11080050 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.4c00500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
The borane-functionalized (BR2) bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane (LH) ligands 1a (BR2: 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane or 9-BBN), 1b (BR2: BCy2), and 1c (BR2: B(C6F5)2) were synthesized by the allylation-hydroboration of LH. Metalation of 1a,b with ZnCl2 yielded the heteroscorpionate dichloride complexes [(1a,b)ZnCl2] 3a,b. The reaction of 1a with ZnEt2 led to the formation of the zwitterionic complex [Et(1a)ZnEt(THF)] 5. The reaction of complex 3a with two equivalents of KHBEt3 under a carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere gave rise to the formation of the dimeric bis(formate) complex [(1a)Zn(OCHO)2]2 8, in which its borane moieties intermolecularly stabilize the formate ligands of opposite metal centers. The allylated precursor Lallyl and its zinc dichloride, diethyl and bis(formate) complexes [(Lallyl)ZnCl2] 2, [(Lallyl)ZnEt2] 4, and [(Lallyl)Zn(OCHO)2] 7 were also isolated. The catalyst systems composed of 1 mol % of 3a or 3b and two equivalents of KHBEt3 hydroborated CO2 at 1 bar with pinacolborane (HBPin) to the methanol-level product H3COBPin (and PinBOBPin) in yields of 42 or 86%, respectively. The catalyst systems using the unfunctionalized complex [(LH)ZnCl2] 6 and KHBEt3 or KHBEt3/nOctBR2 (BR2: 9-BBN or BCy2) hydroborated CO2 to H3COBPin but in 2.5- to 6-fold lower activities than those exhibited by 3a,b/KHBEt3. The hydroboration of CO2 using 8 as a catalyst led to yields of 39-43%, comparable to those obtained with 3a/KHBEt3. The results confirmed that the catalytic intermediates benefit from the incorporated boranes' intra- or intermolecular stabilizations.

Abstract
We report on so-called "hidden FLPs" (FLP: frustrated Lewis pair) consisting of a phosphorus ylide featuring a group 13 fragment in the ortho position of a phenyl ring scaffold to form five-membered ring structures. Although the formation of the Lewis acid/base adducts was observed in the solid state, most of the title compounds readily react with carbon dioxide to provide stable insertion products. Strikingly, 0.3-3.0 mol% of the reported aluminum and gallium/carbon-based ambiphiles catalyze the reduction of CO2 to methanol with satisfactory high selectivity and yields using pinacol borane as stoichiometric reduction equivalent. Comprehensive computational studies provided valuable mechanistic insights and shed more light on activity differences.

Abstract
We demonstrate the catalytic role of aluminum and boron centers in aluminum borohydride [(2-Me2CH2C6H4)(C6H5)Al(μ-H)2B(C6H5)2] (6) during carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrosilylation. Preliminary investigations into CO2 reduction using [(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)(H)Al(μ-H)]2 (1) and [Ph3C][B(3,5-C6H3Cl2)4] (2) in the presence of Et3SiH and PhSiH3 resulted in CH2(OSiR3)2 and CH3OSiR3, which serve as formaldehyde and methanol surrogates, respectively. In pursuit of identifying the active catalytic species, three compounds, B(3,5-C6H3Cl2)3 (3), [(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)(3,5-C6H3Cl2)Al(μ-H)2B(3,5-C6H3Cl2)2] (4), and [(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)2Al(THF)][B(3,5-C6H3Cl2)4] (5), were isolated. Among compounds 2-5, the highest catalytic conversion was achieved by 4. Further, 4 and 6 were prepared in a straightforward method by treating 1 with 3 and BPh3, respectively. 6 was found to be in equilibrium with 1 and BPh3, thus making the catalytic process of 6 more efficient than that of 4. Computational investigations inferred that CO2 reduction occurs across the Al-H bond, while Si-H activation occurs through a concerted mechanism involving an in situ generated aluminum formate species and BPh3.

Abstract
The use of a sterically demanding pincer ligand to prepare an unusual square planar aluminium complex is reported. Due to the constrained geometry imposed by the ligand scaffold, this four-coordinate aluminium centre remains Lewis acidic and reacts via differing metal-ligand cooperative pathways for activating ketones and CO2 . It is also a rare example of a single-component aluminium system for the catalytic reduction of CO2 to a methanol equivalent at room temperature.

Abstract
In order to develop efficient protocols for CO2 reduction with less expensive and more convenient hydrogen sources, the catalytic reactivities of group 10 metal hydride complexes supported by a PNCNP pincer ligand, [2,6-(tBu2PNH)2C6H3]MH (M = Ni, 1a; Pd, 1b; Pt, 1c), against the hydroboration of CO2 with NH3·BH3 and NaBH4 have been explored. Both 1a and 1b readily react with CO2 at room temperature to form the corresponding formato complexes, [2,6-(tBu2PNH)2C6H3]MOC(O)H (M = Ni, 2a; Pd, 2b), in nearly quantitative yields. Treatment of NH3·BH3 with CO2 (1 atm) in 1,4-dioxane or THF at room temperature in the presence of 0.05-1.0 mol % of 1b followed by hydrolysis of the resulting mixtures produces formic acid in 105-186% yields, and initial turnover frequencies of up to 2000 h-1 are observed. In the presence of 1.0 mol % of 1b, NaBH4 reacts with CO2 (1 atm) in THF at room temperature to form NaB[OC(O)H]4 (3) in 87% isolated yield. In situ NMR spectroscopy indicates that the reactions proceed through the insertion of the C═O bond in CO2 into the Pd-H bond in 1b to form 2b, which sequentially reacts with the hydrides in NH3·BH3 or NaBH4 to produce boron formato species and regenerate 1b. This work represents one of the rare examples of catalytic transfer hydrogenation of CO2 with NH3·BH3 to the formic acid level under very mild conditions without any additives and also the first example of 4 equiv of CO2 uptake by NaBH4 in a reaction.

Abstract
In this work, the molecular aluminium dihydride complex bearing an N, N'-chelated conjugated bis-guanidinate (CBG) ligand is used as a catalyst for reducing a wide range of aryl and alkyl esters with good tolerance of alkene (C=C), alkyne (C≡C), halides (Cl, Br, I and F), nitrile (C≡N), and nitro (NO2 ) functionalities. Further, we investigated the catalytic application of aluminium dihydride in the C-O bond cleavage of alkyl and aryl epoxides into corresponding branched Markovnikov ring-opening products. In addition, the chemoselective intermolecular reduction of esters over other reducible functional groups, such as amides and alkenes, has been established. Intermediates are isolated and characterized by NMR and HRMS studies, which confirm the probable catalytic cycles for the hydroboration of esters and epoxides.

Abstract
Catalysis is dominated by the use of rare and potentially toxic transition metals. The main group offers a potentially sustainable alternative for catalysis, due to the generally higher abundance and lower toxicity of these elements. Group 13 elements have a rich catalogue of stoichiometric addition reactions to unsaturated bonds but cannot undergo the redox chemistry which underpins transition-metal catalysis. Group 13 exchange reactions transfer one or more groups from one group 13 element to another, through σ-bond metathesis; where boron is both of the group 13 elements, this is termed transborylation. These redox-neutral processes are increasingly being used to render traditionally stoichiometric group 13-mediated processes catalytic and develop new catalytic processes, examples of which are the focus of this review.

Abstract
Organoborane-catalyzed hydroboration of nitriles provides N,N-diborylamines, which act as efficient synthons for the synthesis of primary amines and secondary amides. Known nitrile hydroboration methods are dominated by metal catalysis. Simple and metal-free hydroboration of nitriles using diborane [H-B-9-BBN]2 as a catalyst and pinacolborane as a turnover reagent is reported. The reaction of monomeric H-B-9-BBN with nitriles leads to the hydrido-bridged diborylimine intermediate; a subsequent sequential double hydroboration-transborylation pathway involving B-N/B-H σ bond metathesis is proposed.

Abstract
The reductive functionalization of the CO unit of carbonates, carboxylic acids, esters, and CO2, respectively has received great attention since its introduction. This method is often used industrially for the synthesis of high value-added energy products in chemistry. This opens up a new way forward to reduce greenhouse gases and the consumption of traditional energy sources. Herein, we report an earth-abundant, cheap, and readily available aluminum dihydride, which can catalyze the reduction of a range of carbonates, esters, carboxylic acids, and CO2, respectively in the presence of pinacolborane as a reducing agent. Moreover, we demonstrate that the reaction can proceed to obtain good yield products under mild conditions, with low catalyst loading and solvent-free reactions. The mechanism of the catalytic reduction of carbonates has been investigated.

Abstract
The conversion of carbon dioxide to fuels, polymers, and chemicals is an attractive strategy for the synthesis of high-value-added products and energy-storage materials. Herein, the density functional theory method was employed to investigate the reaction mechanism of CO2 hydroboration catalyzed by manganese pincer complex, [Mn(Ph2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)2Br]. The carbonyl association and carbonyl dissociation mechanisms were investigated, and the calculated results showed that the carbonyl association mechanism is more favorable with an energetic span of 27.0 kcal/mol. Meanwhile, the solvent effect of the reaction was explored, indicating that the solvents could reduce the catalytic activity of the catalyst, which was consistent with the experimental results. In addition, the X ligand effect (X = CO, Br, H, PH3) on the catalytic activity of the manganese complex was explored, indicating that the anionic complexes [MnI - Br]- and [MnI - H]- have higher catalytic activity. This may not only shed light on the fixation and conversion of CO2 catalyzed by earth-abundant transition-metal complexes but also provide theoretical insights to design new transition-metal catalysts.

Abstract
The heteroscorpionate zinc hydride complex LZnH 2, (L = (MePz)2CP(Ph)2NPh, MePz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl), its formate complex 3, and magnesium hydride complex LMgH 5 with the same ligand were synthesized and detected for the catalytic hydroboration reaction of CO2. With BH3·SMe2 as the reductant, zinc-based hydride complex 2 and formate complex 3 show a similar capability of hydroboration of CO2, featuring excellent reactivity and selectivity. The conversion of BH3·SMe2 reached 84%, the highest TON of 252 compared to other zinc catalysts was achieved at room temperature and borate ester products at reduction levels of CH3OH were obtained. Magnesium-based hydride complex 5 showed inferior activity for the hydroboration reduction of CO2.

Abstract
The addition of a B-H bond to an unsaturated bond (polarized or unpolarized) is a powerful and atom-economic tool for the synthesis of organoboranes. In recent years, s-block organometallics have appeared as alternative catalysts to transition-metal complexes, which traditionally catalyze the hydroboration of unsaturated bonds. Because of the recent and rapid development in the field of hydroboration of unsaturated bonds catalyzed by alkali (Li, Na, K) and alkaline earth (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) metals, we provide a detailed and updated comprehensive review that covers the synthesis, reactivity, and application of s-block metal catalysts in the hydroboration of polarized as well as unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds. Moreover, we describe the main reaction mechanisms, providing valuable insight into the reactivity of the s-block metal catalysts. Finally, we compare these s-block metal complexes with other redox-neutral catalytic systems based on p-block metals including aluminum complexes and f-block metal complexes of lanthanides and early actinides. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive, authoritative, and critical assessment of the state of the art within this highly interesting research area.

Abstract
Organoboranes obtained from hydroboration reactions are one of the important classes of compounds that could be used to provide valuable synthons for follow-up transformations such as various functional group incorporation or C-C bond forming reactions. For decades, various transition metals were utilised as catalysts in such transformations. Recently Earth-abundant and less toxic main group metals have revived their importance in hydroboration chemistry, among which the suitable candidates are aluminium complexes as catalysts. In this regard, the development of aluminium complexes to achieve more robust catalytic systems with greater efficiency is appreciable.

Abstract
Gallium hydrides stabilised by primary and secondary amines are scarce due to their propensity to eliminate dihydrogen. Consequently, their reactivity has received limited attention. The synthesis of two novel gallium hydride complexes HGa(THF)[ON(H)O] and H2Ga[μ2‐ON(H)O]Ga[ON(H)O] ([ON(H)O]2−=N,N‐bis(3,5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐phenoxy)amine) is described and their reactivity towards aldehydes and ketones is explored. These reactions afford alkoxide‐bridged dimers through 1,2‐hydrogallation reactions. The gallium hydrides can be regenerated through Ga−O/B−H metathesis from the reaction of such dimers with pinacol borane (HBpin) or 9‐borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9‐BBN). These observations allowed us to target the catalytic reduction of carbonyl substrates (aldehydes, ketones and carbon dioxide) with low catalyst loadings at room temperature.

Abstract
In the development of alternatives to the traditional catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 with gaseous H2, employing nongaseous H2 storage compounds as potential reductants for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of CO2 is promising. Ammonia-borane, due to its high hydrogen storage capacity (19.6 wt %), has been used for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of several organic unsaturated compounds. However, a similar protocol involving catalytic transfer hydrogenation of less reactive CO2 with NH3BH3 is yet to be realized experimentally. Herein, we demonstrate the first catalytic CO2 transfer hydrogenation process for generating formate salt with NH3BH3 under ambient conditions (1 atm and 30 °C) employing a cationic "Ir(III)-abnormal NHC" catalyst via an electrophilic NH3BH3 activation route. It exhibited an initial turnover frequency of 686 h-1 and a high turnover number (TON) of ≈1300 in just 4 h. Most significantly, the catalyst was durable enough to maintain long-term activity, and upon only periodic recharging of NH3BH3, it furnished a total TON of >4200 in 10 h.

Abstract
The reactions of the boryl-substituted stannylene Sn{B(NDippCH)2}2 (1) with carbon dioxide have been investigated and shown to proceed via pathways involving insertion into the Sn-B bond(s). In the first instance this leads to formation of the (boryl)tin(ii) borylcarboxylate complex Sn{B(NDippCH)2}{O2CB(NDippCH)2} (2), which has been structurally characterized and shown to feature a κ2 mode of coordination of the [(HCDippN)2BCO2]- ligand at the metal centre. 2 undergoes B-O reductive elimination in hexane solution (in the absence of further CO2) to give the boryl(borylcarboxylate)ester {(HCDippN)2B}O2C{B(NDippCH)2} (3) i.e. the product of formal diboration of carbon dioxide. Alternatively, 2 can assimilate a second equivalent of CO2 to give the homoleptic bis(borylcarboxylate) Sn{O2CB(NDippCH)2}2 (4), which can be prepared via an alternative route from SnBr2 and the potassium salt of [(HCDippN)2BCO2]-, and structurally characterized as its DMAP (N,N-dimethylaminopyridine) adduct. Structural and reactivity studies also point to the possibility for extrusion of CO from the [(HCDippN)2BCO2]- fragment to generate the boryloxy system [(HCDippN)2BO]-, a ligand which can be generated directly from 1via reaction with N2O. The initially formed unsymmetrical species Sn{B(NDippCH)2}{OB(NDippCH)2} has been shown to be amenable to crystallographic study in the solid state, but to undergo ligand redistribution in solution to generate a mixture of 1 and the bis(boryloxy) complex Sn{OB(NDippCH)2}2.
