ABSTRACT: A palladium-catalyzed arylboration of norbornene or norbornadiene with aryl
halides and bis(pinacolato)diboron has been disclosed. Mechanistic studies suggest that the
reaction proceeds under a Catellani-type coupling to render versatile multi-functionalized
alkylboranes in good yields. This reaction is complementary to the existing methods and is
well tolerable with a variety of functional groups and readily scaled-up to a gram scale
without deteriorating the yield.
INTRODUCTION
Transition-metal-catalyzed carboboration of alkenes has become an attractive and efficient
strategy to access highly functionalized alkylboranes, which are versatile building blocks in
organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals, from readily available starting materials.1 A myriad of
methods have been developed by intramolecular carboboration of alkenes catalyzed by Pd2 or

Cu catalysts,3 however, intermolecular carboboration of alkenes are relatively rare. Recently,
several elegant works have been developed on this topic.4 For instance, Cheng and his
coworkers reported a Pd-catalyzed acylboration of 1,2-dienes with acyl chlorides and
B2pin2;4a Toste et al. disclosed a palladium-catalyzed 1,1-arylborylation of terminal alkenes
affording benzylic boronic esters;4b in 2014, Hoveyda and co-workers reported a
multicomponent carboboration process involving 1,3-enynes, aldehydes and B2pin2;4c Yoshida
et al. reported an efficient way to facilitate multi-functionalized alkylboranes;4d and Semba
and Nakao et al. as well as Brown succeeded in the construction of 1,1-diarylalkanes

boronates by an intermolecular arylboration of alkenes with aryl halide and B2pin2. Very
recently Liao reported a Cu/Pd cooperative catalysis for enantioselective allyboration of
alkenes.4h These reactions are remarkable since they provide efficient ways for
difunctionalization of alkenes. And the majority of the precedent reports take advantage of
Cu-Bpin complex, due to its ability to add to olefins, rendering an activated boronated Cu
complex which could further react with electrophiles, such as aryl halides, alkyl halides,
aldehydes etc. However, in all of the above known processes, activated alkenes, such as aryl
alkenes, Bpin and SiMe2Ph alkenes have been explored; unactivated alkenes, especially cyclic
alkenes, have not yet been developed as successful substrates for arylboration Inspired by
Catellani-type reaction,5-6 we envisaged that once intermediate B in Scheme 1 was formed,
instead of further leading to the key intermediate of Catellani reaction (palladacycle C in
Scheme 1), this intermediate B might directly undergo with a nucleophile, such as diboron
compound, to generate the desired product via borylation reaction (Scheme 1).

Scheme 1. Proposed mechanism
We herein report a three-component arylboration of unactivated alkylalkenes, namely
norbornene and norbornadiene, with either aryl iodides or aryl bromides and B2pin2 leading to
fully functionalized alkylborane derivatives. Noteworthily, instead of proceeding in a tandem
protocol via the cross-coupling of well-known -borylalkylcopper intermediate (intermediate
D in Scheme 2) with aryl halides as previous reports did,4c-g our strategy was based on a
Catellani-type reaction, in which norbornene was inserted into the active arylpalladium
intermediate to generate a new alkylpalladium intermediate B (Scheme 1 and 2), which was
followed by borylation with B2pin2 to lead to the desired products.

Scheme 2. Transition-metal-catalyzed arylboration of alkenes
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
To evaluate our hypothesis, we commenced our study with 4-iodotoluene (1a) and norbornene
o
(2a) as substrates using 10 mol% of Pd(OAc)2 as the catalyst at 100 C in toluene (Table 1).
To our delight, the desired product 3aa was formed in 48% isolated yield with PPh3 as the
ligand and Cs2CO3 as the base (Table 1, entry 1) along with trace amount of Suzuki-Miyaura
borylative product 4. Further ligand and base screening suggested that PPh3 and K3PO4•3H2O
were the optimal ones (Table 1, entries 1-11). The loading of B2pin2 affected the reaction
dramatically, and with 1.5 equivalent of B2pin2, the desired product was obtained in 72%
yield, which was in contrast to 60% yield obtained with 1.2 equivalent of B2pin2 and 50%
yield observed with 1.0 equivalent of B2pin2 (Table 1, entries 4, 12-13). Subsequently, solvent

optimization demonstrated that THF was the best one among toluene, dioxane, CH3CN and
DMF (Table 1, entries 14-17). Fine tuning of the reaction procedure eventually revealed that
premixing of the Pd catalyst and ligand with base is essential for the optimal result of 93%
yield of this transformation (Table 1, entry 18). Control experiments without ligand or without
Pd catalyst were performed accordingly, trace or poor results were obtained (Table 1, entries
19 and 20). As we can see, Miyaura borylation product did be formed under certain cases, and
in some conditions which is even the main product (Table 1, entries 5, 9, 10 and 20).
Interestingly, the aryl C-H activation product was not detected in most of cases, might be due
to the kinetic effect.

With the optimized conditions in hand, we further turned our attention to the scope of
this reaction (Scheme 3). Gratifyingly, a variety of aryl iodide derivatives which bear either
electron-donating (methyl, p-tBu, p-MeO) or electron-withdrawing (p-phenyl, p-ester) groups
on the aromatic rings were well tolerable in this transformation, affording the desired products
in moderate to good yields (3aa-3ka in Scheme 3). Substituted toluenes gave the desired
products in high yields as well with the ortho example giving a relatively low yield of 69%
(3aa-3ca). Heteroaromatic iodides, such as 3-iodopyridine (1j) and 2-iodothiophene (1k)

worked smoothly under standard conditions to give desired products 3ja and 3ka in 47% and
66% yields, respectively. It was noteworthy that (1s,4s)-bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (2b)
was also a suitable substrate in this transformation, generating corresponding alkene 3ab in
71% yield (Scheme 3). Styrene and methyl acrylate were also tested under our standard
condition, yet no desired products were generated or obtained.

Scheme 3. Scope of Aryl Iodides.a
Various aryl bromides were subsequently investigated to explore the tolerability of the
reaction as well under the optimized conditions. As shown in Scheme 4, the reaction worked
very well with different functional groups on the aromatic rings of aryl bromides: ketones
(3-5a and 3-5b), aldehyde (3-5c) and ester (3ia) were all compatible under the standard
conditions to lead to the desired products. The N, N-dimethylamino group was also a suitable
substrate in addition to the polyphenylene aromatic ones (3-5e and 3-5j) and heteroaromatic
one (3-5f) and gave the desired products in ca. 70% yields (Scheme 4).

It is noteworthy that the reaction can be readily scaled up without loss of efficiency
(Scheme 5): when 1e (5 mmol) and 2a (10 mmol) were exposed to the standard conditions,
79% (1.19 g) of desired product 3ea was obtained (Scheme 4), which demonstrated the
potential utility of this transformation to the synthetic community, since boron esters are
widely used as a coupling partner in organic chemistry.7
Scheme 5. A Scale-up Experiment.
The synthetic utility of the β-borylated derivatives obtained by the present method was
first emphasized by transformation of the boron substituent into various functional groups
(Scheme 6). Bicyclic alcohol 6 and potassium bicyclic trifluoroborate 7, which has been
designated as one of the most important coupling partners in transition-metal-catalyzed

syntheses, were prepared from 3ea in 91% and 87% yields, respectively. Surprisingly,
Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions were performed between 3ea and iodobenzene and
chlorobenzene respectively, yet neither of them gave desired products. These results suggest
that the failure of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling might stem from the steric hindrance of the
reaction.

presence of NaBO3•H2O,8 using the Grubbs generation catalyst and ethylene atmosphere,
the C=C bond of alcohol 8 was cleaved to give dialkene 9,9 which is readily transformed into

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
General information. Unless otherwise noted, materials obtained from commercial suppliers
were used without further purification, THF was distilled from sodium/benzophenone. All
experiments were conducted with a schlenk tube. Flash column chromatography was
1
performed over silica gel (200-300 mesh). H NMR spectra were recorded on a 500M NMR
spectrometers, chemical shifts (in ppm) were referenced to CDCl3 (δ = 7.26 ppm), DMSO-d6
(δ = 2.50 ppm) as an internal standard. 13C NMR spectra were obtained by using the same
NMR spectrometers and were calibrated with CDCl3 (δ = 77.0 ppm), DMSO-d6 (δ = 39.6
ppm).
Note: The carbon directly attached to the boron atom is not detected because of quadrupolar
relaxation. Therefore, that kind of carbon of the products cannot see in the 13C spectra.
Procedure and characterization data for products. A sealed tube was charged with
Pd(OAc)2 (4.5 mg, 0.02 mmol, 10 mol%) and PPh3 (10.5 mg, 0.04 mmol, 20 mol%),
K3PO4·3H2O (133.2 mg, 0.5 mmol, 2.5 eq) in THF (3 mL), and the resulting solution was
stirred for 20 min at room temperature in N2, then add aryl halide (0.2 mmol), norbornene or
norbornadiene (0.4 mmol, 2 eq) and B2pin2 (76.2 mg, 0.3 mmol, 1.5 eq). The sealed tube was
immersed in a oil bath at 100 °C. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with
