- Evaluation of Cobalt Complexes Bearing Tridentate Pincer Ligands for Catalytic C-H Borylation
-
Cobalt(II) dichloride complexes supported by a variety of neutral, tridentate pincer ligands have been prepared and, following in situ activation with NaBEt3H, evaluated for the catalytic borylation of 2-methylfuran, 2,6-lutidine, and benzene using both HBPin and B2Pin2 (Pin = pinacolate) as boron sources. Preparation of well-defined organometallic compounds in combination with stoichiometric experiments with HBPin and B2Pin2 provided insight into the nature and kinetic stability of the catalytically relevant species. In cases where sufficiently electron donating pincers are present, such as with bis(phosphino)pyridine chelates, Co(III) resting states are preferred and catalytic C-H borylation is efficient. Introduction of a redox-active subunit into the pincer reduces its donating ability and, as a consequence, the accessibility of a Co(III) resting state. In these cases, unusual mixed-valent μ-hydride cobalt complexes have been crystallographically and spectroscopically characterized. These studies have also shed light on the active species formed during in situ activated cobalt alkene hydroboration catalysis and provide important design criteria in base metal catalyzed C-B bond forming reactions.

- Continuous-Flow C-H borylation of arene derivatives
-
A new continuous-flow system for C-H borylation has been developed. An insoluble catalyst prepared from chloro(1,5-cyclooctadien)iridium(I) dimer and 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid in the presence of bis(pinacolato)diboron exhibited high reactivity under continuous-flow processing without the loss of expensive iridium metal.

- Origin of the Difference in Reactivity between Ir Catalysts for the Borylation of C-H Bonds
-
A mechanistic study on the origin of the difference in reactivity between Ir catalysts for C-H borylation reactions is reported. Catalytic reactions of B2pin2 with a series of substrates that require high temperatures and long reaction times were conducted. These reactions catalyzed by the combination of [Ir(COD)(OMe)]2 and 3,4,7,8-tetramethylphenanthroline (tmphen) occur in yields that are substantially higher than those of reactions catalyzed by [Ir(COD)(OMe)]2 and 4,4′-di-tert-butylbipyridine (dtbpy). The electronic properties of Ir catalysts ligated by dtbpy or tmphen and their stoichiometric reactivity were investigated. It was found that a longer lifetime rather than higher reactivity of the catalyst leads to higher yields of reactions catalyzed by Ir-tmphen. The catalyst ligated by dtbpy decomposes principally by dissociation of the ligand and rapid borylation at the positions alpha to nitrogen. Thus, the greater stability of the catalyst containing tmphen results from its greater binding constant.

- Paper-Based Colorimetric Sensor System for High-Throughput Screening of C?H Borylation
-
A paper-based colorimetric sensor system (PBCSS) was developed to detect the amount of bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2Pin2) and applied as a high-throughput screening protocol in Ir-catalyzed C?H borylation. First, 96 ligands were screened for the borylation of benzene, and then 12 of them were selected and tested for five substrates. These reaction mixtures were spotted in the PBCSS, showing a blue-violet color. The value of the gray scale of each reaction was obtained from these colored spots and converted to the extent of conversion of B2Pin2. The extents of conversion of B2Pin2 obtained from the PBCSS showed good correlation with those obtained from gas chromatography analysis. In addition, the modified conversion using blank data showed good correlation with the yield of products.

- Mechanistic insights into the dearomative diborylation of pyrazines: A radical or non-radical process?
-
The mechanisms of the dearomative diborylation of pyrazines were investigated via a combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental studies. DFT calculations revealed that a non-radical mechanism involving two successive [3,3]-σ-rearrangement-type processes is responsible for the diborylation of pyrazine with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2). However, this non-radical process is highly unfavorable for the diborylation reaction of sterically hindered pyrazine (2,3-dimethylpyrazine). For the diboration reaction of 2,3-dimethylpyrazine with B2pin2 in the presence of 2,6-dichloro-4,4′-bipyridine as the catalyst, 4,4′-bipyridine-mediated radical pathway proceeding through a B-B homolytic cleavage/boryl radical addition is preferred. Control experiments combined with kinetic studies provided supportive evidence for the proposed mechanism.

- Aromatic C-H borylation catalyzed by iridium/2,6-diisopropyl-N-(2- pyridylmethylene)aniline complex
-
The C-H borylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds, such as benzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene, 2,6-dichloropyridine, indole, benzothiophene and benzofuran, by bis(pinacolato)diboron or pinacolborane was catalyzed by a 1/2 [IrCl(COD)] 2-2,6-diisopropyl-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aniline complex. The isopropyl groups of the ligand are essential for obtaining the products in high yield. Octane was a suitable solvent for the reactions of the above compounds except for indole. In the case of indole, DME was better than octane and the yield tended to improve with a smaller amount of the catalyst.

- Mono-Phosphine Metal-Organic Framework-Supported Cobalt Catalyst for Efficient Borylation Reactions
-
We report a metal-organic framework (MOF) supported monoligated phosphine-cobalt complex, which is an active heterogeneous catalyst for aromatic C?H borylation and alkene hydroboration. The mono(phosphine)-Co catalyst (MOF?P?Co) was prepared by metalation of a porous triarylphosphine-functionalized MOF (MOF?P) with CoCl2 followed by activation with NaEt3BH. The MOF catalyst has a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance to afford arene- and alkyl-boronate esters in excellent yields and selectivity. MOF?P?Co gave a turnover number (TON) of 30,000 and could be recycled and reused at least 13 times in arene C?H borylation. Importantly, the attempt to prepare the homogeneous control (Ph3P?Co) using triphenylphosphine was unsuccessful due to the facile disproportionation reactions or intermolecular ligand exchanges in the solution. In contrast, the site isolation of the active mono(phosphine)-Co species within the MOF affords the robust and coordinatively unsaturated metal complexes, allowing to explore their catalytic properties and the reaction mechanism.

The first visible-light-mediated photocatalytic, metal- and base-free protodesilylation of arylsilanes is presented. The C(sp2)-Si bond cleavage process is catalyzed by a 5 mol % loading of a commercially available acridinium salt upon blue-light irradiation. Two simple approaches have been identified employing either aerobic or hydrogen atom transfer cocatalytic conditions, which enable the efficient and selective desilylation of a broad variety of simple and complex arylsilanes under mild conditions.

- Evaluation of the role of graphene-based Cu(i) catalysts in borylation reactions
-
Carbon-supported catalysts have been considered as macromolecular ligands which modulate the activity of the metallic catalytic center. Understanding the properties and the factors that control the interactions between the metal and support allows a fine tuning of the catalyzed processes. Although huge effort has been devoted to comprehending binding energies and charge transfer for single atom noble metals, the interaction of graphenic surfaces with cheap and versatile Cu(i) salts has been scarcely studied. A methodical experimental and theoretical analysis of different carbon-based Cu(i) materials in the context of the development of an efficient, general, scalable, and sustainable borylation reaction of aliphatic and aromatic halides has been performed. We have also examined the effect of microwave (MW) radiation in the preparation of these type of materials using sustainable graphite nanoplatelets (GNP) as a support. A detailed analysis of all the possible species in solution revealed that the catalysis is mainly due to an interesting synergetic Cu2O/graphene performance, which has been corroborated by an extensive theoretical study. We demonstrated through DFT calculations at a high level of theory that graphene enhances the reactivity of the metal in Cu2O against the halide derivative favoring a radical departure from the halogen. Moreover, this material is able to stabilize radical intermediates providing unexpected pathways not observed using homogeneous Cu(i) catalysed reactions. Finally, we proved that other common carbon-based supports like carbon black, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide provided poorer results in the borylation process.

- Remarkably Efficient Iridium Catalysts for Directed C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H Borylation of Diverse Classes of Substrates
-
Here we describe the discovery of a new class of C-H borylation catalysts and their use for regioselective C-H borylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic systems. The new catalysts have Ir-C(thienyl) or Ir-C(furyl) anionic ligands instead of the diamine-type neutral chelating ligands used in the standard C-H borylation conditions. It is reported that the employment of these newly discovered catalysts show excellent reactivity and ortho-selectivity for diverse classes of aromatic substrates with high isolated yields. Moreover, the catalysts proved to be efficient for a wide number of aliphatic substrates for selective C(sp3)-H bond borylations. Heterocyclic molecules are selectively borylated using the inherently elevated reactivity of the C-H bonds. A number of late-stage C-H functionalization have been described using the same catalysts. Furthermore, we show that one of the catalysts could be used even in open air for the C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H borylations enabling the method more general. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the active catalytic intermediate is the Ir(bis)boryl complex, and the attached ligand acts as bidentate ligand. Collectively, this study underlines the discovery of new class of C-H borylation catalysts that should find wide application in the context of C-H functionalization chemistry.

- Light- and Manganese-Initiated Borylation of Aryl Diazonium Salts: Mechanistic Insight on the Ultrafast Time-Scale Revealed by Time-Resolved Spectroscopic Analysis

Manganese-mediated borylation of aryl/heteroaryl diazonium salts emerges as a general and versatile synthetic methodology for the synthesis of the corresponding boronate esters. The reaction proved an ideal testing ground for delineating the Mn species responsible for the photochemical reaction processes, that is, involving either Mn radical or Mn cationic species, which is dependent on the presence of a suitably strong oxidant. Our findings are important for a plethora of processes employing Mn-containing carbonyl species as initiators and/or catalysts, which have considerable potential in synthetic applications.

- Method for catalytically synthesizing phenylboronic acid ester derivative by iridium catalyst
-
The invention relates to a method for catalytically synthesizing a phenylboronic acid ester derivative by using an iridium catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: by using a cyclooctadieneiridium chloride dimer as a catalyst, dissolving aryl halide and pinacol borane in an organic solvent to react, and carrying out aftertreatment to obtain the phenylboronic acid ester derivative. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the method is simple and green, cheap, readily available and stable raw materials of aryl halide and pinacol borane are used, the reaction conditions are mild, corresponding products can be obtained at high yield through reaction at room temperature in a non-inert atmosphere, and the method has good substrate universality, so that the method is better convenient to apply.

- Catalytic Boration of Alkyl Halides with Borane without Hydrodehalogenation Enabled by Titanium Catalyst
-
An unprecedented and general titanium-catalyzed boration of alkyl (pseudo)halides (alkyl-X, X=I, Br, Cl, OMs) with borane (HBpin, HBcat) is reported. The use of titanium catalyst can successfully suppress the undesired hydrodehalogenation products that prevail using other transition-metal catalysts. A series of synthetically useful alkyl boronate esters are readily obtained from various (primary, secondary, and tertiary) alkyl electrophiles, including unactivated alkyl chlorides, with tolerance of other reducing functional groups such as ester, alkene, and carbamate. Preliminary studies on the mechanism revealed a possible radical reaction pathway. Further extension of our strategy to aryl bromides is also demonstrated.

These studies uncover a new electron-primed photoredox catalyst capable of promoting the reductive cleavage of strong C(sp2)?N and C(sp2)?O bonds. We illustrate several examples of the synthetic utility of these deeply reducing but otherwise safe and mild catalytic conditions. Finally, we employ electrochemical current measurements to perform a reaction progress kinetic analysis. This technique reveals that the improved activity of this new system is a consequence of an enhanced catalyst stability profile.

An efficient electrochemical synthesis approach of various unsymmetrical thioethers and arylboronates has been developed.

Moreover, the scalability of this approach was evaluated by performing the electrochemical thiolation and borylation of arylazo sulfones with thiols and B2pin2 on a gram scale. This protocol not only avoided the use of stoichiometric oxidants, metal catalysts, activating agents and even added bases, but also exhibited favorable functional group tolerance.

- Photo-induced thiolate catalytic activation of inert Caryl-hetero bonds for radical borylation
-
Substantial effort is currently being devoted to obtaining photoredox catalysts with high redox power. Yet, it remains challenging to apply the currently established methods to the activation of bonds with high bond dissociation energy and to substrates with high reduction potentials. Herein, we introduce a novel photocatalytic strategy for the activation of inert substituted arenes for aryl borylation by using thiolate as a catalyst. This catalytic system exhibits strong reducing ability and engages non-activated Caryl–F, Caryl–X, Caryl–O, Caryl–N, and Caryl–S bonds in productive radical borylation reactions, thus expanding the available aryl radical precursor scope. Despite its high reducing power, the method has a broad substrate scope and good functional-group tolerance. Spectroscopic investigations and control experiments suggest the formation of a charge-transfer complex as the key step to activate the substrates.

- Unveiling Extreme Photoreduction Potentials of Donor-Acceptor Cyanoarenes to Access Aryl Radicals from Aryl Chlorides
-
Since the seminal work of Zhang in 2016, donor-acceptor cyanoarene-based fluorophores, such as 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene (4CzIPN), have been widely applied in photoredox catalysis and used as excellent metal-free alternatives to noble metal Ir- and Ru-based photocatalysts. However, all the reported photoredox reactions involving this chromophore family are based on harnessing the energy from a single visible light photon, with a limited range of redox potentials from -1.92 to +1.79 V vs SCE. Here, we document the unprecedented discovery that this family of fluorophores can undergo consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (ConPET) to achieve very high reduction potentials. One of the newly synthesized catalysts, 2,4,5-tri(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-6-(ethyl(phenyl)amino)isophthalonitrile (3CzEPAIPN), possesses a long-lived (12.95 ns) excited radical anion form, 3CzEPAIPN?-*, which can be used to activate reductively recalcitrant aryl chlorides (Ered ≈ -1.9 to -2.9 V vs SCE) under mild conditions. The resultant aryl radicals can be engaged in synthetically valuable aromatic C-B, C-P, and C-C bond formation to furnish arylboronates, arylphosphonium salts, arylphosphonates, and spirocyclic cyclohexadienes.

- Cross-Coupling through Ag(I)/Ag(III) Redox Manifold
-
In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e? redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through AgI/AgIII redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy AgI/AgIII 2e? oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to AgIII; iii) boron-to-AgIII aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-AgIII-CF3] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]+[AgIII(CF3)4]? (K-1), [(bpy)AgIII(CF3)3] (2) and [(phen)AgIII(CF3)3] (3), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [AgIII(aryl)(CF3)3]? intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.

- Zinc Complexes with an Ethylene-Bridged Bis(β-diketiminate) Ligand: Syntheses, Structures, and Applications as Catalysts in the Borylation of Aryl Iodides
-
A dinucleating bis(β-diketiminate) ligand with a flexible bridge has been employed to synthesize zinc complexes. The ligand, abbreviated H2L (H2L = N-(4-((2-((4-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino)pent-2-en-2-yl)amino)ethyl)imino)pent-2-en-2-yl)-2,6-diisopropylaniline), was deprotonated with ZnEt2 to afford [LZn2Et2] (1). Reactions of 1 with 2 equiv of BnOH and nBuOH, respectively, gave access to [LZn2(OBn)2]·C6H14 (2·C6H14) and [LZn2(OnBu)2] (3). Treatment of 1 with 2 equiv of I2 in THF produced [LZn2I2(THF)2]·2THF (4·2THF). X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses revealed that they are all heteroleptic bimetallic compounds with two metal centers being chelated by one ligand set. The structurally similar compounds 1 and 4·2THF possess approximate C2 symmetry, with two β-diketiminate units being arrayed in head-to-tail antiparallel mode. Thus, the molecular structures of 1 and 4·2THF exhibit a seesaw-like topology. The structures of 2·C6H14 and 3 are almost identical, in which two zinc atoms are shared by two ZnN2C3 six-membered rings, two Zn2ON2C2 seven-membered rings, and one Zn2O2 four-membered ring. Therefore, the metal cores of 2·C6H14 and 3 display a crownlike topology. All complexes are catalytically active for the borylation of aryl iodides with B2Pin2 (B2Pin2 = 4,4,4′,4′,5,5,5′,5′-octamethyl-2,2′-bis(1,3,2-dioxaborolane). Complex 1 shows higher activity in comparison to 2, 3, and 4·2THF. The borylation reactions catalyzed by 1 could proceed under mild conditions and can be applied to a series of substrates with high functional group generality. This methodology thus represents a novel use of β-diketiminate zinc complexes for C-I borylation.

- Synthesis of Boroxine and Dioxaborole Covalent Organic Frameworks via Transesterification and Metathesis of Pinacol Boronates
-
Boroxine and dioxaborole are the first and some of the most studied synthons of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Despite their wide application in the design of functional COFs over the last 15 years, their synthesis still relies on the original Yaghi's condensation of boronic acids (with itself or with polyfunctional catechols), some of which are difficult to prepare, poorly soluble, or unstable in the presence of water. Here, we propose a new synthetic approach to boroxine COFs (on the basis of the transesterification of pinacol aryl boronates (aryl-Bpins) with methyl boronic acid (MBA) and dioxaborole COFs (through the metathesis of pinacol boronates with MBA-protected catechols). The aryl-Bpin and MBA-protected catechols are easy to purify, highly soluble, and bench-stable. Furthermore, the kinetic analysis of the two model reactions reveals high reversibility (Keq ~1) and facile control over the equilibrium. Unlike the conventional condensation, which forms water as a byproduct, the byproduct of the metathesis (MBA pinacolate) allows for easy kinetic measurements of the COF formation by conventional 1H NMR. We show the generality of this approach by the synthesis of seven known boroxine/dioxaborole COFs whose crystallinity is better or equal to those reported by conventional condensation. We also apply metathesis polymerization to obtain two new COFs, Py4THB and B2HHTP, whose synthesis was previously precluded by the insolubility and hydrolytic instability, respectively, of the boronic acid precursors.

- Formation of a hydride containing amido-zincate using pinacolborane
-
Amido-zincates containing hydrides are underexplored yet potentially useful complexes. Attempts to access this type of zincate through combining amido-organo zincates and pinacolborane (HBPin)viaZn-C/H-BPin exchange led instead to preferential formation of amide-BPin and/or [amide-BPin(Y)]?(Y = Ph, amide, H), when the amide is hexamethyldisilazide or 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide and the hydrocarbyl group was phenyl or ethyl. In contrast, the use of a dipyridylamide (dpa) based arylzinc complex led to Zn-C/H-BPin metathesis being the major outcome. Independent synthesis and full characterisation of two LnLi[(dpa)ZnPh2] (L = THF,n= 3; L = PMDETA,n= 1) complexes,1and3, respectively, enabled reactivity studies that demonstrated that these species display zincate type reactivity (by comparison to the lower reactivity of the neutral complex (Me-dpa)ZnPh2,4, Me-dpa = 2,2′-dipyridyl-N-methylamine). This included1performing the rapid deprotonation of 4-ethynyltoluene and also phenyl transfer to α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone in contrast to neutral complex4. Complex1reacted with one equivalent of HBPin to give predominantly PhBPin (ca.90%) and a lithium amidophenylzincate containing a hydride unit, complex7-A, as the major zinc containing product. Complex7-Atransfers hydride to an electrophile preferentially over phenyl, indicating it reacts as a hydridozincate. Attempts to react1with >1 equivalent of HBPin or with catecholborane led to more complex outcomes, which included significant borane and dpaZn substituent scrambling, two examples of which were crystallographically characterised. While this work provides proof of principle for Zn-C/H-BPin exchange as a route to form an amido-zincate containing a hydride, amido-organozincates that undergo more selective Zn-C/H-BPin exchange still are required.

The desulfitative borylation reaction of sodium arylsulfinates with bis(pinacolato)diboron or bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron under palladium catalysis has been developed, allowing selective C-B bond formation to give arylboronates with a range of functional groups in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions. A gram-scale preparation as well as the cascade Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of arylboronates demonstrated the potential practical utility in organic synthesis.

- Copper-Catalyzed Regioselective Sila-acylation and Sila-imination of Allenes Using Esters and Nitriles
-
The sila-acylation of allenes is performed in the presence of a copper catalyst using PhMe2Si-B(pin) and esters as the silyl and acyl sources, respectively. β-Silyl-β,γ-unsaturated ketones are obtained regioselectively in good to high yields. The sila-imination of allenes is also achieved using nitriles as electrophiles. Exposure of the reaction mixture to air results in the production of cyclic silyl peroxides.

- Dealkenylative Ni-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Enabled by Tetrazine and Photoexcitation
-
A new and general method to functionalize the C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond of alkyl and alkene linkages has been developed, leading to the dealkenylative generation of carbon-centered radicals that can be intercepted to undergo Ni-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling. This one-pot protocol leverages the easily procured alkene feedstocks for organic synthesis with excellent functional group compatibility without the need for a photoredox catalyst.

- Carbon-carbon bond activation by B(OMe)3/B2pin2-mediated fragmentation borylation
-
Selective carbon-carbon bond activation is important in chemical industry and fundamental organic synthesis, but remains challenging. In this study, non-polar unstrained Csp2-Csp3 and Csp2-Csp2 bond activation was achieved by B(OMe)3/B2pin2-mediated fragmentation borylation. Various indole derivatives underwent C2-regioselective C-C bond activation to afford two C-B bonds under transition-metal-free conditions. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggested that C-B bond formation and C-C bond cleavage probably occurred in a concerted process. This new reaction mode will stimulate the development of reactions based on inert C-C bond activation. This journal is

- Selective C-O Bond Reduction and Borylation of Aryl Ethers Catalyzed by a Rhodium-Aluminum Heterobimetallic Complex
-
We report the catalytic reduction of a C-O bond and the borylation by a rhodium complex bearing an X-Type PAlP pincer ligand. We have revealed the reaction mechanism based on the characterization of the reaction intermediate and deuterium-labeling experiments. Notably, this novel catalytic system shows steric-hindrance-dependent chemoselectivity that is distinct from conventional Ni-based catalysts and suggests a new strategy for selective C-O bond activation by heterobimetallic catalysis.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Ipso-Borylation of Silyloxyarenes via C-O Bond Activation
-
The conversion of silyloxyarenes to boronic acid pinacol esters via nickel catalysis is described. In contrast to other borylation protocols of inert C-O bonds, the method is competent in activating the carbon-oxygen bond of silyloxyarenes in isolated aromatic systems lacking a directing group. The catalytic functionalization of benzyl silyl ethers was also achieved under these conditions. Sequential cross-coupling reactions were achieved by leveraging the orthogonal reactivity of silyloxyarenes, which could then be functionalized subsequently.

-
A metal-free photoredox-catalyzed hydrodefluorination of fluoroarenes was achieved by using N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyl-para-phenylenediamine (1) as a strong photoreduction catalyst. This reaction was applicable not only to electron-rich monofluoroarenes but also to polyfluoroarenes to afford non-fluorinated arenes. The experimental mechanistic studies indicated that the amide solvent NMP plays an important role for regeneration of the photocatalyst, enabling additive-free photoreduction catalysis.

- Improvement in the Palladium-Catalyzed Miyaura Borylation Reaction by Optimization of the Base: Scope and Mechanistic Study
-
Aryl boronic acids and esters are important building blocks in API synthesis. The palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura borylation is the most common method for their preparation. This paper describes an improvement of the current reaction conditions. By using lipophilic bases such as potassium 2-ethyl hexanoate, the borylation reaction could be achieved at 35 °C in less than 2 h with very low palladium loading (0.5 mol %). A preliminary mechanistic study shows a hitherto unrecognized inhibitory effect by the carboxylate anion on the catalytic cycle, whereas 2-ethyl hexanoate minimizes this inhibitory effect. This improved methodology enables borylation of a wide range of substrates under mild conditions.

- Photocatalytic C–X borylation of aryl halides by hierarchical SiC nanowire-supported Pd nanoparticles
-
Hierarchical SiC nanowire-supported Pd nanoparticles showed high photocatalytic activity for the C-X (X = Br, I) borylation of aryl halides at 30 °C. The SiC/Pd Mott-Schottky contact enhances the rapid transfer of the photogenerated electrons from SiC to the Pd nanoparticles. As a result, the concentrated energetic electrons in the Pd nanoparticles can facilitate the cleavage of C-I or C-Br bonds, which normally requires high-temperature thermal processes. We show that the present Pd/SiC photocatalyst is capable of catalyzing the transformation of a large variety of aryl halides to their corresponding boronate esters under visible light irradiation, with excellent yields.

- Single-Site Cobalt-Catalyst Ligated with Pyridylimine-Functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks for Arene and Benzylic Borylation
-
We report a highly active single-site heterogeneous cobalt-catalyst based on a porous and robust pyridylimine-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (pyrim-MOF) for chemoselective borylation of arene and benzylic C-H bonds. The pyrim-MOF having UiO-68 topology, constructed from zirconium-cluster secondary building units and pyridylimine-functionalized dicarboxylate bridging linkers, was metalated with CoCl2 followed by treatment of NaEt3BH to give the cobalt-functionalized MOF-catalyst (pyrim-MOF-Co). Pyrim-MOF-Co has a broad substrate scope, allowing the C-H borylation of halogen-, alkoxy-, alkyl-substituted arenes as well as heterocyclic ring systems using B2pin2 or HBpin (pin = pinacolate) as the borylating agent to afford the corresponding arene- or alkyl-boronate esters in good yields. Pyrim-MOF-Co gave a turnover number (TON) of up to 2500 and could be recycled and reused at least 9 times. Pyrim-MOF-Co was also significantly more robust and active than its homogeneous control, highlighting the beneficial effect of active-site isolation within the MOF framework that prevents intermolecular decomposition. The experimental and computational studies suggested (pyrim?-)CoI(THF) as the active catalytic species within the MOF, which undergoes a mechanistic pathway of oxidative addition, turnover limiting σ-bond metathesis, followed by reductive elimination to afford the boronate ester.

- Mechanistic Insights into C-H Borylation of Arenes with Organoiridium Catalysts Embedded in a Microporous Metal-Organic Framework
-
Organometallic iridium catalysts can be used in conjunction with bispinacolatodiboron (B2Pin2) to effect the borylation of a variety of substrates such as arenes, alkanes, heteroarenes, and oxygenates. Recently, efforts have also focused on integrating these catalysts into porous supports, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). While the mechanism of homogeneous borylation systems has been thoroughly investigated experimentally and computationally, analogous studies in MOF-supported iridium catalysts have not been conducted. Herein, we report the mechanistic investigation of a phenanthroline-iridium catalyst immobilized in the organic linker of Universitetet i Oslo (UiO)-67 (Zr6O4(OH)4(BPDC)4(PhenDC)2, BPDC = biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate, PhenDC = 1,10-phenanthroline-4,4′-dicarboxylate). By using benzene as a model substrate, variable time normalization analysis (VTNA) of the kinetic data suggested a rate law consistent with zero-order in B2Pin2, and first-order in arene. A primary kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in the time course of benzene-d6 borylation also provided complementary information about the role of the arene in the rate-determining step of the reaction. Characterization by techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirmed the presence of Ir(III), while pair distribution function (PDF) analysis suggested structures containing an Ir-Cl bond, further substantiated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Analysis of postcatalysis materials by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) revealed low boron accumulation, which may indicate an absence of boron in the resting state of the catalyst. Finally, in comparing borylation of benzene and toluene, a slight selectivity for benzene is observed, which is similar to the analogous homogeneous reaction, indicating the influence of substrate sterics on reactivity.

- Direct C?H Borylation of Arenes Catalyzed by Saturated Hydride-Boryl-Iridium-POP Complexes: Kinetic Analysis of the Elemental Steps
-
The saturated trihydride IrH3{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (1; xant(PiPr2)2=9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene) activates the B?H bond of two molecules of pinacolborane (HBpin) to give H2, the hydride-boryl derivatives IrH2(Bpin){κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (2) and IrH(Bpin)2{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (3) in a sequential manner. Complex 3 activates a C?H bond of two molecules of benzene to form PhBpin and regenerates 2 and 1, also in a sequential manner. Thus, complexes 1, 2, and 3 define two cycles for the catalytic direct C?H borylation of arenes with HBpin, which have dihydride 2 as a common intermediate. C?H bond activation of the arenes is the rate-determining step of both cycles, as the C?H oxidative addition to 3 is faster than to 2. The results from a kinetic study of the reactions of 1 and 2 with HBpin support a cooperative function of the hydride ligands in the B?H bond activation. The addition of the boron atom of the borane to a hydride facilitates the coordination of the B?H bond through the formation of κ1- and κ2-dihydrideborate intermediates.

Efficient borylation reaction of diazonium salts in water is realized for the first time by using easily prepared, highly emissive and crystalline carbon dots. Electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on diazonium salts were well tolerated with moderate to good conversion efficiency. Compared with widely used metal complexes, organic dyes and quantum dots, the approach presented herein uses carbon dots, which are nontoxic and possess good biological and medicinal compatibility and high reactivity. Therefore, this approach presents a new prospective use for carbon dots in green chemistry.

- Transformations of Aryl Ketones via Ligand-Promoted C?C Bond Activation
-
The coupling of aromatic electrophiles (aryl halides, aryl ethers, aryl acids, aryl nitriles etc.) with nucleophiles is a core methodology for the synthesis of aryl compounds. Transformations of aryl ketones in an analogous manner via carbon–carbon bond activation could greatly expand the toolbox for the synthesis of aryl compounds due to the abundance of aryl ketones. An exploratory study of this approach is typically based on carbon–carbon cleavage triggered by ring-strain release and chelation assistance, and the products are also limited to a specific structural motif. Here we report a ligand-promoted β-carbon elimination strategy to activate the carbon–carbon bonds, which results in a range of transformations of aryl ketones, leading to useful aryl borates, and also to biaryls, aryl nitriles, and aryl alkenes. The use of a pyridine-oxazoline ligand is crucial for this catalytic transformation. A gram-scale borylation reaction of an aryl ketone via a simple one-pot operation is reported. The potential utility of this strategy is also demonstrated by the late-stage diversification of drug molecules probenecid, adapalene, and desoxyestrone, the fragrance tonalid as well as the natural product apocynin.

- A Direct S0→Tn Transition in the Photoreaction of Heavy-Atom-Containing Molecules
-
According to the Grotthuss–Draper law, light must be absorbed by a substrate to initiate a photoreaction. There have been several reports, however, on the promotion of photoreactions using hypervalent iodine during irradiation with light from a non-absorbing region. This contradiction gave rise to a mystery regarding photoreactions involving hypervalent iodine. We demonstrated that the photoactivation of hypervalent iodine with light from the apparently non-absorbing region proceeds via a direct S0→Tn transition, which has been considered a forbidden process. Spectroscopic, computational, and synthetic experimental results support this conclusion. Moreover, the photoactivation mode could be extended to monovalent iodine and bromine, as well as bismuth(III)-containing molecules, providing new possibilities for studying photoreactions that involve heavy-atom-containing molecules.

Regiodivergent and chemo- and stereoselective functionalization of the seven-membered nonconjugated diene was achieved by hydroboration mediated by Cs2CO3 or an iridium catalyst.

- Visible Light-Induced Borylation of C-O, C-N, and C-X Bonds
-
Boronic acids are centrally important functional motifs and synthetic precursors. Visible light-induced borylation may provide access to structurally diverse boronates, but a broadly efficient photocatalytic borylation method that can effect borylation of a wide range of substrates, including strong C-O bonds, remains elusive. Herein, we report a general, metal-free visible light-induced photocatalytic borylation platform that enables borylation of electron-rich derivatives of phenols and anilines, chloroarenes, as well as other haloarenes. The reaction exhibits excellent functional group tolerance, as demonstrated by the borylation of a range of structurally complex substrates. Remarkably, the reaction is catalyzed by phenothiazine, a simple organic photocatalyst with MW 200 that mediates the previously unachievable visible light-induced single electron reduction of phenol derivatives with reduction potentials as negative as approximately - 3 V versus SCE by a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism. Mechanistic studies point to the crucial role of the photocatalyst-base interaction.
