Page/Page column 63, (2021/04/30)
The present invention relates, in general terms, to methods of borylation and uses thereof. In particular, the present invention provides a method of borylating an alkene compound by contacting the compound with a boron compound, a Fe pre-catalyst and a protic additive. The borylation occurs at a vicinal (β) position to an electron donating or electron withdrawing moiety of the compound.
A donor-acceptor complex enables the synthesis of: E -olefins from alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids

Olefins are prevalent substrates and functionalities. The synthesis of olefins from readily available starting materials such as alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids is of great significance to address the sustainability concerns in organic synthesis. Metallaphotoredox-catalyzed defunctionalizations were reported to achieve such transformations under mild conditions. However, all these valuable strategies require a transition metal catalyst, a ligand or an expensive photocatalyst, with the challenges of controlling the region- and stereoselectivities remaining. Herein, we present a fundamentally distinct strategy enabled by electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes, for the selective synthesis of olefins from these simple and easily available starting materials. The conversions took place via photoactivation of the EDA complexes of the activated substrates with alkali salts, followed by hydrogen atom elimination from in situ generated alkyl radicals. This method is operationally simple and straightforward and free of photocatalysts and transition-metals, and shows high regio- and stereoselectivities.

The catalytic isomerization of C-C double bonds is an indispensable chemical transformation used to deliver higher-value analogues and has important utility in the chemical industry. Notwithstanding the advances reported in this field, there is compelling demand for a general catalytic solution that enables precise control of the C═C bond migration position, in both cyclic and acyclic systems, to furnish disubstituted and trisubstituted alkenes. Here, we show that catalytic amounts of an appropriate earth-abundant iron-based complex, a base and a boryl compound, promote efficient and controllable alkene transposition. Mechanistic investigations reveal that these processes likely involve in situ formation of an iron-hydride species which promotes olefin isomerization through sequential olefin insertion/β-hydride elimination. Through this strategy, regiodivergent access to different products from one substrate can be facilitated, isomeric olefin mixtures commonly found in petroleum-derived feedstock can be transformed to a single alkene product, and unsaturated moieties embedded within linear and heterocyclic biologically active entities can be obtained.

An efficient cobalt-catalyzed Z to E isomerization of β-substituted styrenes using the amido-diphosphine ligand was developed, delivering the (E)-isomers with good functional tolerance and high stereoselectivity. The reaction could be scaled up to gram-scale with a catalyst loading of 0.1 mol %, using a mixture of (Z)- and (E)-alkene as the starting material. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that cobalt(I)-hydride and a benzylic-cobalt species were probably involved in the reaction, as supported by experiments and DFT calculations.

The rhodium-catalyzed deoxygenation and borylation of ketones with B2pin2 have been developed, leading to efficient formation of alkenes, vinylboronates, and vinyldiboronates. These reactions feature mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and excellent functional-group compatibility. Mechanistic studies support that the ketones initially undergo a Rh-catalyzed deoxygenation to give alkenes via boron enolate intermediates, and the subsequent Rh-catalyzed dehydrogenative borylation of alkenes leads to the formation of vinylboronates and diboration products, which is also supported by density functional theory calculations.

The operationally simple palladium-catalyzed double-bond migration without heteroatom-containing coordinating functional groups is described. Addition of TaCl5 as a second catalyst greatly enhanced the migration efficiency to provide β-alkylsty

The iron(III)-polypyridyl complex and its derivatives showed sufficient oxidizing potential to act as a one-electron oxidant, producing radical cations from olefins and promoting the efficient radical cation [2 + 2] and [2 + 4] cycloaddition reactions. Subsequent chain propagation afforded trisubstituted cyclobutane or cyclohexene derivatives, and this facile route enables the replacement of rare metals with sustainable, green, and inexpensive iron in radical cation cycloadditions.

A highly efficient cross-coupling reaction of monofluoroalkenes with tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper or nickel catalyst, respectively, has been developed. The reactions proceeded smoothly at room temperature, providing (E)-alkene isomers in moderate to high yields. Plausible mechanisms of the Ni-catalyzed coupling reaction of monofluoroalkene with Grignard reagents are suggested.

The chromium photocatalyzed cyclopropanation of diazo reagents with electron-rich alkenes is described. The transformation occurs under mild conditions and features specific distinctions from traditional diazo-based cyclopropanations (e.g., avoiding β-hydride elimination, chemoselectivity considerations, etc.). The reaction appears to work most effectively using chromium catalysis, and a number of decorated cyclopropanes can be accessed in generally good yields.
