Highly selective catalytic trans-hydroboration of alkynes mediated by borenium cations and B(C₆F₅)₃.

ABSTRACT: The trans-hydroboration of terminal alkynes mediated by borenium cations [NHC(9-BBN)]⁺ (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene, 9-BBN = 9-borabicyclo(3.3.1)nonane) exclusively affords Z-vinylboranes. NHCs and chelating dialkyl substituents on the borenium cation and "non"-basic anions were essential to preclude alternative reactions including dehydroboration. Deuterium labelling studies indicate the mechanism involves addition of the boron electrophile to the alkyne and transfer of hydride to the opposite face of the activated alkyne. trans-Hydroboration proceeds with only catalytic amounts of B(C₆F₅)₃ or [Ph₃C][B(C₆F₅)₄] to activate the (NHC)9-BBN(H) precursor with the borenium regenerated in the hydride transfer step. The NHC can be removed from the trans-hydroborated products by the addition of Et₂O-BF₃ providing access to vinylBBN species effective for Suzuki-Miyaura couplings to generate Z-alkenes. Combinations of catalytic B(C₆F₅)₃ and stoichiometric [HB(C₆F₅)₃]^- also lead to trans-hydroboration of terminal alkynes to form Z-isomers of [arylCH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHB(C₆F₅)₃]^-.

syn-1,2-carboboration of alkynes with borenium cations.

Project description:The reaction of 8-(trimethylsiloxy)quinoline (QOTMS) with BCl3 and (aryl)BCl2 forms QOBCl2 and QOBCl(aryl). The subsequent addition of stoichiometric AlCl3 follows one of two paths, dependent on the steric demands of the QO ligand and the electrophilicity of the resulting borenium cation. The phenyl- and 5-hexylthienylborenium cations, QOBPh(+) and QOBTh(+), are formed, whereas QOBCl(+) is not. Instead, AlCl3 preferentially binds with QOBCl2 at oxygen, forming QOBCl2 ⋅AlCl3, rather than abstracting chloride. A modest increase in the steric demands around oxygen, by installing a methyl group at the 7-position of the quinolato ligand, switches the reactivity with AlCl3 back to chloride abstraction, allowing formation of Me 2QOBCl(+). All the prepared borenium cations are highly chlorophilic and exhibit significant interaction with AlCl4(-) resulting in an equilibrium concentration of Lewis acidic "AlCl3" species. The presence of "AlCl3(") species limits the alkyne substrates compatible with these borenium systems, with reaction of [QOBPh][AlCl4 ] with 1-pentyne exclusively yielding the cyclotrimerised product, 1,3,5-tripropylbenzene. In contrast, QOBPh(+) and QOBTh(+) systems effect the syn-1,2-carboboration of 3-hexyne. DFT calculations at the M06-2X/6-311G(d,p)/PCM(DCM) level confirm that the higher migratory aptitude of Ph versus Me leads to a lower barrier to 1,2-carboboration relative to 1,1-carboboration.

Haloboration of internal alkynes with boronium and borenium cations as a route to tetrasubstituted alkenes.

Project description:Hail boration! 2-Dimethylaminopyridine-ligated dihaloborocations [X2B(2-DMAP)](+) with a strained four-membered boracycle were used for the haloboration of terminal and dialkyl internal alkynes (see scheme). Esterification then provided vinyl boronate esters as useful precursors to tetrasubstituted alkenes. Following mechanistic studies, the scope of the haloboration was expanded simply by variation of the amine. Pin = 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanedioxy.

Electrochemical Hydroboration of Alkynes.

Project description:Herein we reported the electrochemical hydroboration of alkynes by using B2 Pin2 as the boron source. This unprecedented reaction manifold was applied to a broad range of alkynes, giving the hydroboration products in good to excellent yields without the need of a metal catalyst or a hydride source. This transformation relied on the possible electrochemical oxidation of an in situ formed borate. This anodic oxidation performed in an undivided cell allowed the formation of a putative boryl radical, which reacted on the alkyne.

Borenium ion catalyzed hydroboration of alkenes with N-heterocyclic carbene-boranes.

Project description:Treatment of alkenes such as 3-hexene, 3-octene, and 1-cyclohexyl-1-butene with the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-derived borane 2 and catalytic HNTf(2) (Tf = trifluoromethanesulfonyl (CF(3)SO(2))) effects hydroboration at room temperature. With 3-hexene, surprisingly facile migration of the boron atom from C(3) of the hexyl group to C(2) was observed over a time scale of minutes to hours. Oxidative workup gave a mixture of alcohols containing 2-hexanol as the major product. A similar preference for the C(2) alcohol was observed after oxidative workup of the 3-octene and 1-cyclohexyl-1-butene hydroborations. NHC-borenium cations (or functional equivalents) are postulated as the species that accomplish the hydroborations, and the C(2) selective migrations are attributed to the four-center interconversion of borenium cations with cationic NHC-borane-olefin ?-complexes.

Weakly stabilized primary borenium cations and their dicationic dimers.

Project description:Hydride abstraction from monocationic hydride bridged salts [H(H2B-L)2](+) [B(C6F5)4]¯ (L = Lewis base) generates an observable primary borenium cation for L = iPr2NEt, but with L = Me3N, Me2NPr, or several N-heterocyclic carbenes, highly reactive dicationic dimers are formed.

Highly Chemoselective Hydroboration of Alkynes and Nitriles Catalyzed by Group 4 Metal Amidophosphine-Borane Complexes.

Project description:We report a series of titanium and zirconium complexes supported by dianionic amidophosphine-borane ligands, synthesized by amine elimination and salt metathesis reactions. The TiIV complex [{Ph2P(BH3)N}2C6H4Ti(NMe2)2] (1) was obtained by the reaction between tetrakis-(dimethylamido)titanium(IV) and the protic aminophosphine-borane ligand [{Ph2P(BH3)NH}2C6H4] (LH2) at ambient temperature. Both the heteroleptic zirconium complexes-[η5-(C5H5)2Zr{Ph2P(BH3)N}2C6H4] (2) and [[{Ph2P(BH3)N}2C6H4]ZrCl2] (3)-and the homoleptic zirconium complex [[{Ph2P(BH3)N}2C6H4]2Zr] (4) were obtained in good yield by the salt metathesis reaction of either zirconocene dichloride [η5-(C5H5)2ZrCl2] or zirconium tetrachloride with the dilithium salt of the ligand [{Ph2P(BH3)NLi}2C6H4] (LLi2), which was prepared in situ. The molecular structures of the complexes 1, 2, and 4 in their solid states were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Of these complexes, only titanium complex 1 acts as an effective catalyst for the facile hydroboration of terminal alkynes, yielding exclusive E-isomers. The hydroboration of organic nitriles yielded diborylamines with a broad substrate scope, including broad functional group compatibility. The mechanism of hydroboration occurs through the formation of titanium hydride as an active species.

Copper-Photocatalyzed Hydroboration of Alkynes and Alkenes.

Project description:The photocatalytic hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes is reported. The use of newly-designed copper photocatalysts with B2 Pin2 permits the formation a boryl radical, which is used for hydroboration of a large panel of alkenes and alkynes. The hydroborated products were isolated in high yields, with excellent diastereoselectivities and a high functional group tolerance under mild conditions. The hydroboration reactions were developed under continuous flow conditions to demonstrate their synthetic utility. The reaction mechanism was studied and suggested an oxidation reaction between an in situ formed borate and the Cu-photocatalyst in its excited state for the boryl radical formation.

Hydroboration of Terminal Alkenes and trans-1,2-Diboration of Terminal Alkynes Catalyzed by a Manganese(I) Alkyl Complex.

Project description:A MnI -catalyzed hydroboration of terminal alkenes and a 1,2-diboration of terminal alkynes with pinacolborane (HBPin) is described. For alkenes, anti-Markovnikov hydroboration takes place; for alkynes the reaction proceeds with excellent trans-1,2-selectivity. The most active pre-catalyst is bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine MnI complex fac-[Mn(dippe)(CO)3 (CH2 CH2 CH3 )]. The catalytic process is initiated by migratory insertion of a CO ligand into the Mn-alkyl bond to yield an acyl intermediate, which undergoes B-H bond cleavage of HBPin (for alkenes) and rapid C-H bond cleavage (for alkynes), forming the active MnI boryl and acetylide catalysts [Mn(dippe)(CO)2 (BPin)] and [Mn(dippe)(CO)2 (C≡CR)], respectively. A broad variety of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes and alkynes was efficiently and selectively borylated. Mechanistic insights are provided based on experimental data and DFT calculations revealing that an acceptorless reaction is operating involving dihydrogen release.

Highly selective electrochemical hydrogenation of alkynes: Rapid construction of mechanochromic materials.

Project description:Electrochemical hydrogenation has emerged as an environmentally benign and operationally simple alternative to traditional catalytic reduction of organic compounds. Here, we have disclosed for the first time the electrochemical hydrogenation of alkynes to a library of synthetically important Z-alkenes under mild conditions with great selectivity and efficiency. The deuterium and control experiments of electrochemical hydrogenation suggest that the hydrogen source comes from the solvent, supporting electrolyte, and base. The scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction experiments demonstrate that palladium nanoparticles generated in the electrochemical reaction act as a chemisorbed hydrogen carrier. Moreover, complete reduction of alkynes to saturated alkanes can be achieved through slightly modified conditions. Furthermore, a series of novel mechanofluorochromic materials have been efficiently constructed with this protocol that showed blue-shifted mechanochromism. This discovery represents the first example of cis-olefins-based organic mechanochromic materials.
