Aza-Matteson Reactions via Controlled Mono-and Double-Methylene Insertions into Nitrogen-Boron Bonds

Boron-homologation reactions represent an efficient and programmable approach to prepare alkylboronates, which are valuable and versatile synthetic intermediates. The typical boron-homologation reaction, also known as the Matteson reaction, involves formal carbenoid insertions into C-B bonds. Here we report the development of aza-Matteson reactions via carbenoid insertions into the N-B bonds of aminoboranes. By changing the leaving groups of the carbenoids and altering Lewis acid activators, selective mono- and double-methylene insertions can be realized to access various α- and β-boron-substituted tertiary amines, respectively, from common secondary amines. The derivatization of complex amine-containing bioactive molecules, diverse functionalization of the boronate products, and sequential insertions of different carbenoids have also been achieved.

Photoinduced NaI-Promoted Radical Borylation of Alkyl Halides and Pseudohalides

A method for photoinduced NaI-promoted radical borylation of aliphatic halides and pseudohalides with bis(catecholato)diboron (B2cat2) as the boron source is introduced. The borylation reaction is operationally simple and shows high

Direct benzylation of amines with benzylic alcohols catalyzed by palladium/phosphine-borane catalyst system

Direct catalytic benzylation of amines with benzylic alcohols to give benzylamines has been newly developed by using palladium/phosphine-borane catalyst system. In this catalytic reaction, the linking between both phosphine and borane moieties in the ligand is very important. Hydroxy group of benzylic alcohols is activated by Lewis acidic borane to form a benzylpalladium intermediate which is attacked by amines to give benzylamine products.

Regioselective, Photocatalytic α-Functionalization of Amines

Photocatalytic α-functionalization of amines provides a mild and atom-economical means to synthesize α-branched amines. Prior examples featured symmetrical or electronically biased substrates. Here we report a controllable α-functionalization of amines in which regioselectivity can be tuned with minor changes to the reaction conditions.

Nickel-Catalyzed Amination of α-Aryl Methyl Ethers

α-Aryl amines are prevalent in pharmaceutically active compounds and natural products. Herein, we describe a Ni-catalyzed protocol for their synthesis from readily available α-aryl ethers. While α-aryl ethers have been used as electrophiles in Ni-catalyzed C-C bond formations, their use in C-heteroatom bond formation is much less prevalent. Preliminary mechanistic insight suggests that oxidative addition is facilitated by an anionic ligand and that reductive elimination is a reversible process.

Coupling of C(sp3)-H bonds with C(sp2)-O electrophiles: mild, general and selective

Herein is reported the mild and general coupling of amine/ether C(sp3)-H bonds with various kinds of C(sp2)-O electrophiles with high selectivity and efficiency. Valuable allylic/benzylic amines are generated in moderate to excellent yields. The utility of this transformation is demonstrated by a broad substrate scope (>50 examples), good functional group tolerance and facile product modification.
