Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202401050. [PMID: 38444397 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202401050] [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: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024]
Abstract
Geminal bis(boronates) are versatile synthetic building blocks in organic chemistry. The fact that they predominantly serve as nucleophiles in the previous reports, however, has restrained their synthetic potential. Herein we disclose the ambiphilic reactivity of α-halogenated geminal bis(boronates), of which the first catalytic utilization was accomplished by merging a formal Heck cross-coupling with a highly diastereoselective allylboration of aldehydes or imines, providing a new avenue for rapid assembly of polyfunctionalized boron-containing compounds. We demonstrated that this cascade reaction is highly efficient and compatible with various functional groups, and a wide range of heterocycles. In contrast to a classical Pd(0/II) scenario, mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations have provided strong evidence for a catalytic cycle involving Pd(I)/diboryl carbon radical intermediates.

Abstract
We report the triply selective and sequential diversification of a single Csp 3 carbon carrying Cl, Bpin and GeEt3 for the modular and programmable construction of sp3-rich molecules. Various functionalizations of Csp 3-Cl and Csp 3-BPin (e.g. alkylation, arylation, homologation, amination, hydroxylation) were tolerated by the Csp 3-GeEt3 group. Moreover, the methodological repertoire of alkyl germane functionalization was significantly expanded beyond the hitherto known Giese addition and arylation to alkynylation, alkenylation, cyanation, halogenation, azidation, C-S bond formation as well as the first demonstration of stereo-selective functionalization of a Csp 3-[Ge] bond.

Abstract
The key to a successful C-B activation is to discriminate between two geminal boryl moieties that are exposed to the same reaction conditions. Here we describe a stereoselective C-B activation of β,β-diboryl acrylates forming exclusively the (Z)-α-borylalkenyl copper(I) key intermediate, for subsequent allylic alkylation reactions. The new borylated (Z)-skipped dienoates followed a feasible iodo-lactonization sequence for the preparation of borylated lactone cores, which can be used in drug discovery.

Abstract
The wide applications of alpha-boryl carbanions in selective coupling with organohalides, imines/carbonyls and conjugated unsaturated substrates has become an interesting tool for organic synthesis. Strategically, the inclusion of heteroatoms, such as Si, S, N, F, Cl, Br and I in the alpha position opens a new venue towards multifunctionalities in molecular design. Here, a conceptual and practical view on powerful carbanions, containing α-silicoboron, α-thioboron, α-haloboron and α-aminoboron is given, as well as a prespective on their efficient application for selective electrophilic trapping.

Abstract
Organoboron compounds are environmentally benign, have low toxicity and are versatile reagents that are extensively employed in organic synthesis, especially in the realm of asymmetric synthesis. The last several decades have witnessed a tremendous outburst of asymmetric reactions based on various organoboron compounds. Among them, 1,1-diborylalkanes, which contain two boryl groups at the same sp3-carbon atom, are regarded as some of the most versatile and powerful reagents for their unique structure and unusual reaction mode in organic synthesis. Moreover, owing to the stabilizing effect of the empty p-orbital of the neighboring boron atoms and the inherent good steric-hindrance, 1,1-diborylalkanes often exhibit extraordinary reactivity and stereoselectivity compared to other kinds of organoboron compounds in asymmetric synthesis. Herein, the present highlight summarizes and discusses the recent progress achieved in the catalytic enantioselective reactions of 1,1-diborylalkanes during the past decade.

Abstract
The construction of acyclic, non-adjacent 1,3-stereogenic centers, prevalent motifs in drugs and bioactive molecules, has been a long-standing synthetic challenge due to acyclic nucleophiles being distant from the chiral environment. In this study, we successfully synthesized highly valuable 1,2-bis(boronic) esters featuring acyclic and nonadjacent 1,3-stereocenters. Notably, this reaction selectively produces migratory coupling products rather than alternative deborylative allylation or direct allylation byproducts. This approach introduces a new activation mode for selective transformations of gem-diborylmethane in asymmetric catalysis. Additionally, we found that other gem-diborylalkanes, previously challenging due to steric hindrance, also successfully participated in this reaction. The incorporation of 1,2-bis(boryl)alkenes facilitated the diversification of the alkenyl and two boron moieties in our target compounds, thereby enabling access to a broad array of versatile molecules. DFT calculations were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism and shed light on the factors responsible for the observed excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. These were determined to arise from ligand-substrate steric repulsions in the syn-addition transition state.

Abstract
H8-BINOL, a partially reduced form of BINOL, is widely employed in a broad array of organocatalyzed asymmetric methodologies. Over the last 25 years, asymmetric organocatalysis has witnessed an incredible improvement, and an advancement still continues to get a single enantio-enriched product. The broad-spectrum applications of H8-BINOL organocatalyst in C-C bond formation, C-heteroatom bond construction, name reactions, pericyclic reactions, and one pot and multicomponent reaction are attracting the attention of researchers. A diversified unique H8-BINOL-based catalyst has been synthesized and screened for catalytic activity. In this Review we frame out the H8-BINOL catalyzed novel discoveries from the last two decades.

Abstract
A practical method for the efficient and enantioselective preparation of versatile ketones and aldehydes that contain an α-quaternary stereocenter is described. Reactions utilize simple carboxylic acid or ester starting materials, a monodentate chiral phosphine, and afford a variety of aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and alkyl-substituted ketone and aldehyde products in 25-94 % yield and 90 : 10 to >99 : 1 enantiomeric ratio. Reactions proceed by acyl substitution with in situ formed chiral allylic nucleophiles, and display selectivity and conversion dependence on a protic additive. The utility of the approach is demonstrated through several product transformations.

Abstract
The development of an enantioselective catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura reaction that applies to meso 1,2-diborylcycloalkanes is described. This reaction provides a modular route to enantiomerically enriched substituted carbocycles and heterocycles that retain a synthetically versatile boronic ester. With appropriately constructed substrates, compounds bearing additional stereogenic centers and fully substituted carbon atoms can be generated in a straightforward fashion. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest that substrate activation arises from the cooperative effect of vicinal boronic esters during the transmetalation step.

Abstract
This report describes the unprecedented electrooxidation of a solvent (e.g., DMF)-ligated B2 cat2 complex, whereby a solvent-stabilized boryl radical is formed via quasi-homolytic cleavage of the B-B bond in a DMF-ligated B2 cat2 radical cation. Cyclic voltammetry and density functional theory provide evidence to support this novel B-B bond activation strategy. Furthermore, a strategy for the electrochemical gem-diborylation of gem-bromides via paired electrolysis is developed for the first time, affording a range of versatile gem-diborylalkanes, which are widely used in synthetic society. Notably, this reaction approach is scalable, transition-metal-free, and requires no external activator.

Abstract
1,1‐Diborylalkenes can be transformed into (Z)‐skipped dienes through CuI‐phosphine catalyzed allylic coupling reactions. The energetically preferred formation of (Z)‐α‐borylalkenyl copper (I) species and the subsequent nucleophilic attack, explains the stereoselective nucleophilic substitution with allyl bromides. The eventual treatment of (Z)‐skipped dienes with NaOtBu promotes cyclization/aromatization patterns via enyne intermediates.

Abstract
By using copper(I) homoenolates as nucleophiles, which are generated through the ring-opening of 1-substituted cyclopropane-1-ols, a catalytic asymmetric allylic substitution with allyl phosphates is achieved in high to excellent yields with high enantioselectivity. Both 1-substituted cyclopropane-1-ols and allylic phosphates enjoy broad substrate scopes. Remarkably, various functional groups, such as ether, ester, tosylate, imide, alcohol, nitro, and carbamate are well tolerated. Moreover, the present method is nicely extended to the asymmetric construction of quaternary carbon centers. Some control experiments argue against a radical-based reaction mechanism and a catalytic cycle based on a two-electron process is proposed. Finally, the synthetic utilities of the product are showcased by means of the transformations of the terminal olefin group and the ketone group.

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
Chemo- and stereoselective transformations of polyborylalkanes are powerful and efficient methods to access optically active molecules with greater complexity and diversity through programmed synthetic design. Among the various polyborylalkanes, gem-diborylalkanes have attracted much attention in organic chemistry as versatile synthetic handles. The notable advantage of gem-diborylalkanes lies in their ability to generate two key intermediates, α-borylalkyl anions and (gem-diborylalkyl) anions. These two different intermediates can be applied to various enantioselective reactions to rapidly access a diverse set of enantioenriched organoboron compounds, which can be further manipulated to generate various chiral molecule libraries via stereospecific C(sp3)-B bond transformations.In this Account, we summarize our recent contributions to the development of catalytic chemo- and stereoselective reactions using gem-diborylalkanes as versatile nucleophiles, which can be categorized as follows: (1) copper-catalyzed enantioselective coupling of gem-diborylalkanes with electrophiles and (2) the design and synthesis of (diborylmethyl)metallic species and their applications to enantioselective reactions. Since Shibata and Endo reported the Pd-catalyzed chemoselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of gem-diborylalkanes with organohalides in 2014, Morken and Hall subsequently developed the first enantioselective analogous reactions using TADDOL-derived chiral phosphoramidite as the supporting ligand of a palladium catalyst. This discovery sparked interest in the catalytic enantioselective coupling of gem-diborylalkanes with electrophiles. Our initial studies focused on generating chiral (α-borylmethyl)copper species by enantiotopic-group-selective transmetalation of gem-diborylalkanes with chiral copper complexes and their reactions with various aldimines and ketimines to afford syn-β-aminoboronate esters with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity. Moreover, we developed the enantioselective allylation of gem-diborylalkanes that proceeded by reaction of in situ-generated chiral (α-borylalkyl)copper and allyl bromides. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the enantiotopic-group-selective transmetalation between gem-diborylalkanes and the chiral copper complex occurred through the open transition state rather than the closed transition state, thereby effectively generating chiral (α-borylmethyl)copper species. We also utilized (diborylmethyl)metallic species such as (diborylmethyl)silanes and (diborylmethyl)zinc halides in catalytic enantioselective reactions. We succeeded in developing the enantiotopic-group-selective cross-coupling of (diborylmethyl)silanes with aryl iodides to afford enantioenriched benzylic 1,1-silylboronate esters, which could be used for further consecutive stereospecific transformations to afford various enantioenriched molecules. In addition, we synthesized (diborylmethyl)zinc halides for the first time by the transmetalation of isolated (diborylmethyl)lithium and zinc(II) halides and their utilization to the synthesis of enantioenriched gem-diborylalkanes bearing a chiral center at the β-position via an iridium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic substitution process. In addition to our research efforts, we also include key contributions by other research groups. We hope that this Account will draw the attention of the synthetic community to gem-diboryl compounds and provide guiding principles for the future development of catalytic enantioselective reactions using gem-diboryl compounds.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an increase in the popularity of α-boryl organometallic reagents as versatile nucleophiles in asymmetric synthesis. These compounds have been adopted in chemo- and stereoselective coupling reactions with a number of different electrophiles. The resulting enantioenriched boronic esters can be applied in stereospecific carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond construction reactions, enabling a two-step strategy for the construction of complex structures with high efficiency and functional group compatibility. Due to these reasons, tremendous effort has been devoted to the preparation of enantiomerically enriched α-boryl organometallic reagents and to the development of stereoselective reactions of related racemic or prochiral materials. In this review, we describe the enantio- or diastereoselective reactions that involve α-boryl organometallic reagents as starting materials or products and we showcase their synthetic utility.

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed enantioconvergent coupling of the versatile boron-stabilized organozinc reagent BpinCH2ZnI with a racemic branched allylic carbonate has been developed here, which differs from our previous work by using 1,1-bisborylmethane through the kinetic resolution process. The reaction has a broad substrate scope, and various chiral homoallylic organoboronic esters could be obtained in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The synthetic practicability of the products was demonstrated by their conversion to other useful families of compounds.

Abstract
The transition-metal-catalyzed allylation reaction is an efficient strategy for the construction of new carbon-carbon bonds alongside allyl or homoallylic functionalization. Herein we describe a Ni-catalyzed reductive allylation of α-chloroboronates to efficiently render the corresponding homoallylic boronates, which could be readily converted into valuable homoallylic alcohols or amines or 1,4-diboronates. This reaction features a broad substrate scope with good functional group compatibility that is complementary to the existing methods for the preparation of homoallylic boronates.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed reactions invariably include steps where ligands associate or dissociate. In order to obtain reliable energies for such reactions, sufficiently large basis sets need to be employed. In this paper, we have used high-precision multiwavelet calculations to compute the metal-ligand association energies for 27 transition metal complexes with common ligands, such as H2, CO, olefins, and solvent molecules. By comparing our multiwavelet results to a variety of frequently used Gaussian-type basis sets, we show that counterpoise corrections, which are widely employed to correct for basis set superposition errors, often lead to underbinding. Additionally, counterpoise corrections are difficult to employ when the association step also involves a chemical transformation. Multiwavelets, which can be conveniently applied to all types of reactions, provide a promising alternative for computing electronic interaction energies free from any basis set errors.

Abstract
Reported herein is a novel reaction engineering protocol to enhance the efficiency of a transition metal-catalysed process by strategically preventing ligand degradation. Based on spectroscopic investigations, a decomposition pathway of a chiral phosphoramidite ligand during a Cu-catalysed reaction was identified. The involvement of the destructive process could be minimized under the modified reaction conditions that control the amount of nucleophilic alkoxide base, which is the origin of ligand decomposition. Overall, the strategy has been successfully applied to a new class of asymmetric conjugate addition reactions with bis[(pinacolato)boryl]methane, in which α,β-unsaturated enones are utilised as substrates. A novel Cu-catalysed asymmetric conjugate addition reaction with bis[(pinacolato)boryl]methane using α,β-unsaturated enones as substrates has been developed on the basis of strategic preservation of the supporting ligand.![]()
