Synthetic and mechanistic aspects of the diarylborinic acid-catalyzed regioselective monofunctionalization of 1,2- and 1,3-diols are presented. Diarylborinic acid catalysis is shown to be an efficient and general method for monotosylation of pyranoside derivatives bearing three secondary hydroxyl groups (7 examples, 88% average yield). In addition, the scope of the selective acylation, sulfonylation, and alkylation is extended to 1,2- and 1,3-diols not derived from carbohydrates (28 examples); the efficiency, generality, and operational simplicity of this method are competitive with those of state-of-the-art protocols including the broadly applied organotin-catalyzed or -mediated reactions. Mechanistic details of the organoboron-catalyzed processes are explored using competition experiments, kinetics, and catalyst structure-activity relationships. These experiments are consistent with a mechanism in which a tetracoordinate borinate complex reacts with the electrophilic species in the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic cycle.
Selective monosulfonylation of internal 1,2-diols catalyzed by di-n- butyltin oxide

The reaction of internal 1,2-diols with catalytic n-Bu2SnO, p-TsCl (1.05 equiv.) and Et3N (1.1 equiv.) led to selective monotosylation. In the case of cyclic substrates, the cis-1,2-diol moiety appeared best suited for optimal results, supporting the intermediacy of a five-membered chelate. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
