Base induced isomerisation of a phosphaethynolato-borane: mechanistic insights into boryl migration and decarbonylation to afford a triplet phosphinidene.

ABSTRACT: We report on the (tert-butyl)isocyanide-catalysed isomersation of a phosphaethynolato-borane, [B]OCP ([B] = N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3,2-diazaboryl), to its linkage isomer, a phosphaketenyl-borane, [B]PCO. Mechanistic insight into this unusual isomerisation was gained through a series of stoichiometric reactions of [B]OCP with isocyanides and theoretical calculations at the Density Functional Theory (DFT) level. [B]PCO decarbonylates under photolytic conditions to afford a novel boryl-substituted diphosphene, [B]P[double bond, length as m-dash]P[B]. This reaction proceeds via a transient triplet phosphinidene which we have been able to observe spectroscopically by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.

Selective Boryl-Anion Migration in a Vinyl sp2 -sp3 Diborane Induced by Soft Borane Lewis Acids.

Project description:An intramolecular 1,2-boryl-anion migration from boron to carbon has been achieved by selective activation of the ??system in [(vinyl)B2 Pin2 )]- using "soft" BR3 electrophiles (BR3 =BPh3 or 9-aryl-BBN). The soft character is key to ensure 1,2-migration proceeds instead of oxygen coordination/B-O activation. The BR3 -induced 1,2-boryl-anion migration represents a triple borylation of a vinyl Grignard reagent using only B2 Pin2 and BR3 and forms differentially protected 1,1,2-triborylated alkanes. Notably, by increasing the steric bulk at the ??position of the vinyl Grignard reagent used to activate B2 Pin2 , 1,2-boryl-anion migration can be suppressed in favor of intermolecular {BPin}- transfer to BPh3 , thus enabling simple access to unsymmetrical sp2 -sp3 diboranes.

Boryl substitution of functionalized aryl-, heteroaryl- and alkenyl halides with silylborane and an alkoxy base: expanded scope and mechanistic studies.

Project description:A transition-metal-free method has been developed for the boryl substitution of functionalized aryl-, heteroaryl- and alkenyl halides with a silylborane in the presence of an alkali-metal alkoxide. The base-mediated boryl substitution of organohalides with a silylborane was recently reported to provide the corresponding borylated products in good to high yields, and exhibit good functional group compatibility and high tolerance to steric hindrance. In this study, the scope of this transformation has been extended significantly to include a wide variety of functionalized aryl-, heteroaryl- and alkenyl halides. In particular, the boryl substitution of (E)- and (Z)-alkenyl halides proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding alkenyl boronates in good to high yields with retention of the configuration using modified reaction conditions. The results of the mechanistic studies suggest that this boryl substitution proceeds via a carbanion-mediated mechanism.

Rapid reversible borane to boryl hydride exchange by metal shuttling on the carborane cluster surface.

Project description:In this work, we introduce a novel concept of a borane group vicinal to a metal boryl bond acting as a supporting hemilabile ligand in exohedrally metalated three-dimensional carborane clusters. The (POBOP)Ru(Cl)(PPh3) pincer complex (POBOP = 1,7-OP(i-Pr)2-m-2-carboranyl) features extreme distortion of the two-center-two-electron Ru-B bond due to the presence of a strong three-center-two-electron B-H···Ru vicinal interaction. Replacement of the chloride ligand with a hydride afforded the (POBOP)Ru(H)(PPh3) pincer complex, which possesses B-Ru, B-H···Ru, and Ru-H bonds. This complex was found to exhibit a rapid exchange between hydrogen atoms of the borane and the terminal hydride through metal center shuttling between two boron atoms of the carborane cage. This exchange process, which involves sequential cleavage and formation of strong covalent metal-boron and metal-hydrogen bonds, is unexpectedly facile at temperatures above -50 °C corresponding to an activation barrier of 12.2 kcal mol-1. Theoretical calculations suggested two equally probable pathways for the exchange process through formally Ru(0) or Ru(iv) intermediates, respectively. The presence of this hemilabile vicinal B-H···Ru interaction in (POBOP)Ru(H)(PPh3) was found to stabilize a latent coordination site at the metal center promoting efficient catalytic transfer dehydrogenation of cyclooctane under nitrogen and air at 170 °C.

Experimental and Computational Studies on a Base-Free Terminal Uranium Phosphinidene Metallocene.

Project description:The first stable base-free terminal uranium phosphinidene metallocene is presented; and its structure and reactivity have been studied in detail and compared to that of the corresponding thorium derivative. Salt metathesis reaction of the methyl iodide uranium metallocene Cp'''2 U(I)Me (2, Cp'''=η5 -1,2,4-(Me3 C)3 C5 H2 ) with Mes*PHK (Mes*=2,4,6-(Me3 C)3 C6 H2 ) in THF yields the base-free terminal uranium phosphinidene metallocene, Cp'''2 U=PMes* (3). In addition, density functional theory (DFT) studies suggest substantial 5f orbital contributions to the bonding within the uranium phosphinidene [U]=PAr moiety, which results in a more covalent bonding between the [Cp'''2 U]2+ and [Mes*P]2- fragments than that for the related thorium derivative. This difference in bonding besides steric reasons causes different reactivity patterns for both molecules. Therefore, the uranium derivative 3 may act as a Cp'''2 U(II) synthon releasing the phosphinidene moiety (Mes*P:) when treated with alkynes or a variety of hetero-unsaturated molecules such as imines, thiazoles, ketazines, bipy, organic azides, diazene derivatives, ketones, and carbodiimides.

1,2-boryl migration empowers regiodivergent synthesis of borylated furans.

Project description:A regioselective transition metal-catalyzed cycloisomerization reaction of boron-containing alkynyl epoxides toward C2- and C3-borylated furans has been developed. It was found that the copper catalyst as well as the gold catalyst with more basic triflate counterion favor boryl migration toward C3-borylated furans, whereas employment of the cationic gold hexafluoroantimonate affords C2-borylated furan via a formal 1,2-hydrogen shift.

Mechanistic Insights into the Triplet Sensitized Photochromism of Diarylethenes.

Project description:Operating photoswitchable molecules repetitively and reliably is crucial for most of their applications, in particular in (opto)electronic devices, and related to reversibility and fatigue resistance, which both critically depend on the photoisomerization mechanism defined by the substitution pattern. Two diarylethene photoswitches bearing biacetyl triplet sensitizers either at the periphery or at the core were investigated using both stationary as well as transient UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy ranging from the femtosecond to the microsecond time scale. The diarylethene with two biacetyl moieties at the periphery is switching predominantly from the triplet excited state, giving rise to an enhanced fatigue resistance. In contrast, the diarylethene bearing one diketone at the photoreactive inner carbon atom cyclizes from the singlet excited state and shows significantly higher quantum yields for both cyclization and cycloreversion.

A Three-Stage Mechanistic Model for Ammonia Borane Dehydrogenation by Shvo's Catalyst.

Project description:We propose a mechanistic model for three-stage dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) catalyzed by Shvo's cyclopentadienone-ligated ruthenium complex. We provide evidence for a plausible mechanism for catalyst deactivation, the transition from fast catalysis to slow catalysis, and relate those findings to the invention of a second-generation catalyst that does not suffer from the same deactivation chemistry.The primary mechanism of catalyst deactivation is borazine-mediated hydroboration of the ruthenium species that is the active oxidant in the fast catalysis case. This transition is characterized by a change in the rate law for the reaction and changes in the apparent resting state of the catalyst. Also, in this slow catalysis situation, we see an additional intermediate in the sequence of boron, nitrogen species, aminodiborane. This occurs with concurrent generation of NH(3), which itself does not strongly affect the rate of AB dehydrogenation.

Borane-catalyzed selective dihydrosilylation of terminal alkynes: reaction development and mechanistic insight.

Project description:Here, we describe simple B(C6F5)3-catalyzed mono- and dihydrosilylation reactions of terminal alkynes by using a silane-tuned chemoselectivity strategy, affording vinylsilanes and unsymmetrical geminal bis(silanes). This strategy is applicable to the dihydrosilylation of both aliphatic and aryl terminal alkynes with different silane combinations. Gram-scale synthesis and conducting the reaction without the exclusion of air and moisture demonstrate the practicality of this methodology. The synthetic utility of the resulting products was further highlighted by the structural diversification of geminal bis(silanes) through transforming the secondary silane into other silyl groups. Comprehensive theoretical calculations combined with kinetical isotope labeling studies have shown that a prominent kinetic differentiation between the hydrosilylation of alkynes and vinylsilane is responsible for the chemoselective construction of unsymmetrical 1,1-bis(silanes).

Diphenylanthracene Dimers for Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Photon Upconversion: Mechanistic Insights for Intramolecular Pathways and the Importance of Molecular Geometry.

Project description:Novel approaches to modify the spectral output of the sun have seen a surge in interest recently, with triplet-triplet annihilation driven photon upconversion (TTA-UC) gaining widespread recognition due to its ability to function under low-intensity, noncoherent light. Herein, four diphenylanthracene (DPA) dimers are investigated to explore how the structure of these dimers affects upconversion efficiency. Also, the mechanism responsible for intramolecular upconversion is elucidated. In particular, two models are compared using steady-state and time-resolved simulations of the TTA-UC emission intensities and kinetics. All dimers perform TTA-UC efficiently in the presence of the sensitizer platinum octaethylporphyrin. The meta-coupled dimer 1,3-DPA2 performs best yielding a 21.2% upconversion quantum yield (out of a 50% maximum), which is close to that of the reference monomer DPA (24.0%). Its superior performance compared to the other dimers is primarily ascribed to the longer triplet lifetime of this dimer (4.7 ms), thus reinforcing the importance of this parameter. Comparisons between simulations and experiments reveal that the double-sensitization mechanism is part of the mechanism of intramolecular upconversion and that this additional pathway could be of great significance under specific conditions. The results from this study can thus act as a guide not only in terms of annihilator design but also for the design of future solid-state systems where intramolecular exciton migration is anticipated to play a major role.

Mechanism of protein decarbonylation.

Project description:Ligand/receptor stimulation of cells promotes protein carbonylation that is followed by the decarbonylation process, which might involve thiol-dependent reduction (C.M. Wong et al., Circ. Res. 102:301-318; 2008). This study further investigated the properties of this protein decarbonylation mechanism. We found that the thiol-mediated reduction of protein carbonyls is dependent on heat-labile biologic components. Cysteine and glutathione were efficient substrates for decarbonylation. Thiols decreased the protein carbonyl content, as detected by 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, but not the levels of malondialdehyde or 4-hydroxynonenal protein adducts. Mass spectrometry identified proteins that undergo thiol-dependent decarbonylation, which include peroxiredoxins. Peroxiredoxin-2 and -6 were carbonylated and subsequently decarbonylated in response to the ligand/receptor stimulation of cells. siRNA knockdown of glutaredoxin inhibited the decarbonylation of peroxiredoxin. These results strengthen the concept that thiol-dependent decarbonylation defines the kinetics of protein carbonylation signaling.
