Photochemical and electrochemical C-N borylation of arylhydrazines

The C-N borylation of arylhydrazine hydrochlorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron was achieved under photochemical and electrochemical conditions, respectively. This novel and scalable transformation provides two efficient and mild transition-metal-free synt

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.

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.

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.

Pd-Catalyzed Site-Selective Borylation of Simple Arenes via Thianthrenation?

Site-selective borylation of simple arenes was realized in one pot via an electrophilic thianthrenation/Pd-catalyzed borylation sequence. The key to achieve this operatically simple process is the use of Pd catalysis, which could tolerate the solvent and acidic conditions used in the thianthrenation step. This protocol features mild conditions, broad functional group tolerance, and simple manipulations, and is suitable for late-stage functionalization of a wide range of pharmaceuticals and complex bioactive molecules.

Room temperature Pd(0)/Ad3P-catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl chlorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron

Room temperature Pd(0)/Ad3P-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of aryl chlorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron are described. The Pd(0)/Ad3P catalyst, generated from Ad3P-coordinated acetanilide-based palladacycle complex, proved to be an efficient catalyst system for the Miyaura borylation reactions of a variety of aryl chlorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron. The mild reaction condition, the easy availability of the catalyst and good coupling yields make these reactions potentially useful in organic synthesis.

Synthesis of Amino- and Hydroxymethyl Benzoxaboroles: Prominent Scaffolds for Further Functionalization

Herein, we describe the development of a short, simple, and efficient synthesis of amino- and hydroxymethyl-substituted benzoxaboroles. The key step in our strategy was the early stage incorporation of the boron by the borylation of an aniline. The formed boronates were then elaborated to the final products in two additional steps, usually in good yields. The synthetic sequence was amenable to be performed on a preparative scale and 4-amino benzoxaborole 4b and 6-hydroxymethyl benzoxaborole 10c have been prepared, without any significant decrease in the overall yield. The amino and hydroxymethyl present at the molecules are useful for further elaboration and/or conjugation to bioactive molecules and therefore we believe that this method should be useful in the development of new compounds for Medicinal Chemistry.

Bedford-type palladacycle-catalyzed miyaura borylation of aryl halides with tetrahydroxydiboron in water

A mild aqueous protocol for palladium catalyzed Miyaura borylation of aryl iodides, aryl bromides and aryl chlorides with tetrahydroxydiboron (BBA) as a borylating agent is developed. The developed methodology requires low catalyst loading of Bedford-type palladacycle catalyst (0.05 mol %) and works best under mild reaction conditions at 40 °C in short time of 6 h in water. In addition, our studies show that for Miyaura borylation using BBA in aqueous condition, maintaining a neutral reaction pH is very important for reproducibility and higher yields of corresponding borylated products. Moreover, our protocol is applicable for a broad range of aryl halides, corresponding borylated products are obtained in excellent yields up to 93% with 29 examples demonstrating its broad utility and functional group tolerance.

C-H borylation by platinum catalysis

Herein, we describe the platinum-catalyzed borylation of aromatic C-H bonds. N-Heterocyclic carbene-ligated platinum catalysts are found to be efficient catalysts for the borylation of aromatic C(sp2)-H bonds when bis(pinacolato)diboron is used as the boron source. The most remarkable feature of these Pt catalysts is their lack of sensitivity towards the degree of steric hindrance around the C-H bonds undergoing the borylation reaction. These Pt catalysts allow for the synthesis of sterically congested 2,6-disubstituted phenylboronic esters, which are otherwise difficult to synthesize using existing C-H borylation methods. Furthermore, platinum catalysis allows for the site-selective borylation of the C-H bonds ortho to fluorine substituents in fluoroarene systems. Preliminary mechanistic studies and work towards the synthetic application of this platinum catalyzed C-H borylation process are described.
