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.

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

Unreactive C-N Bond Activation of Anilines via Photoinduced Aerobic Borylation

Unreactive C-N bond activation of anilines was achieved by photoinduced aerobic borylation. A diverse range of tertiary and secondary anilines were converted to aryl boronate esters in moderate to good yields with wide functional group tolerance under simple and ambient photochemical conditions. This transformation achieved the direct and facile C-N bond activation of unreactive anilines, providing a convenient and practical route transforming widely available anilines into useful aryl boronate esters.

Undirected ortho-selectivity in C–H borylation of arenes catalyzed by NHC platinum(0) complexes

Borylation of arenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron catalyzed by sterically encumbered NHC platinum complexes proceeds predominantly at ortho-position even in the absence of a directing group (o: m: p ratio up to 10: 3: 1). The similar borylation with pinacolborane would proceed less selectively.

Metal-organic frameworks containing nitrogen-donor ligands for efficient catalytic organic transformations

Metal-organic framework (MOFs) compositions based on nitrogen donor-based organic bridging ligands, including ligands based on 1,3-diketimine (NacNac), bipyridines and salicylaldimine, were synthesized and then post-synthetically metalated with metal precursors, such as complexes of first row transition metals. Metal complexes of the organic bridging ligands could also be directly incorporated into the MOFs. The MOFs provide a versatile family of recyclable and reusable single-site solid catalysts for catalyzing a variety of asymmetric organic transformations. The solid catalysts can also be integrated into a flow reactor or a supercritical fluid reactor.

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.

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.

Expanding the Variety of Zirconium-based Inorganic Building Units for Metal–Organic Frameworks

Two new zirconium-based metal–organic frameworks with the composition [Zr6O4(OH)4(OAc)6(BDC)3] (CAU-26) and [Zr5O4(OH)4(OAc)4(BDC)2] (CAU-27) are

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.

Nickel-Catalyzed C(sp2)-H Borylation of Arenes

In this study, C(sp2)-H borylation of arenes was accomplished by a nickel catalyst, resulting in good yield. Alkyl and alkoxy arenes were successfully functionalized, affording C(sp2)-H borylated compounds. It was unraveled that the well-defined abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene based Ni(II) complex breaks into Ni nanoparticles (Ni-NPs), which act as catalytically active species. A series of controlled reactions under stoichiometric conditions along with spectroscopic studies and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic study helped us to understand the formation of Ni-NPs along with formation of a boron(III) compound during this reaction.
