Neosilyllithium-Catalyzed Hydroboration of Alkynes and Alkenes in the Presence of Pinacolborane (HBpin)

We report here a novel protocol for the hydroboration of alkynes and alkenes, which in the presence of neosilyllithium (LiCH2SiMe3) (5 mol %) and pinacolborane efficiently results in the formation of corresponding alkenyl and alkyl b

Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl-Cyclopropylboronates

A copper-catalyzed enantioselective cyclopropanation involving trifluorodiazoethane in the presence of alkenyl boronates has been developed. This transformation enables the preparation of 2-substituted-3-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropylboronates with high levels of stereocontrol. The products are valuable synthetic intermediates by transformation of the boronate group. This methodology can be applied to the synthesis of novel trifluoromethylated analogues of trans-2-arylcyclopropylamines, which are prevalent motifs in biologically active compounds.

Copper-Photocatalyzed Hydroboration of Alkynes and Alkenes

The photocatalytic hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes is reported. The use of newly-designed copper photocatalysts with B2Pin2 permits the formation a boryl radical, which is used for hydroboration of a large panel of alkenes and a

Highly efficient hydroboration of alkynes catalyzed by porous copper-organic framework under mild conditions

The hydroboration of alkynes is crucial due to the wide applications in organic synthesis, while such reaction is often completed with low turnover frequency (TOF) value and long reaction time. Therefore, it is very important and necessary that the hydrob

Electrochemical Hydroboration of Alkynes

Herein we reported the electrochemical hydroboration of alkynes by using B2Pin2 as the boron source. This unprecedented reaction manifold was applied to a broad range of alkynes, giving the hydroboration products in good to excellent yields without the need of a metal catalyst or a hydride source. This transformation relied on the possible electrochemical oxidation of an in situ formed borate. This anodic oxidation performed in an undivided cell allowed the formation of a putative boryl radical, which reacted on the alkyne.

Cs4B4O3F10: First Fluorooxoborate with [BF4] Involving Heteroanionic Units and Extremely Low Melting Point

Herein, a new congruently melting mixed-anion compound Cs4B4O3F10 has been characterized as the first fluorooxoborate with [BF4] involving heteroanionic units. Compound Cs4B4O3F10 possesses two highly fluorinated anionic clusters and therefore its formula can be expressed as Cs3(B3O3F6) ? Cs(BF4). The influence of [BF4] units on micro-symmetry and structural evolution was discussed based on the parent compound. More importantly, Cs4B4O3F10 shows the lowest melting point among all the available borates and thus sets a new record for such system. This work is of great significance to enrich and tailor the structure of borates using perfluorinated [BF4] units.

Practical Solvent-Free Microwave-Assisted Hydroboration of Alkynes

A simple and rapid protocol for the anti-Markovnikov hydroboration of alkynes assisted by microwave irradiation has been developed. Pinacolborane smoothly reacts with terminal alkynes to obtain (E)-alkenyl boronates in good yields and short reactions times in the absence of solvent. Further transformations on the carbon-boron bond of the adducts can be sequentially achieved without the need of purifying the alkenyl boronates.

H2-Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Boration and Transfer Boration of Alkenes Enabled by Zirconium Catalyst

The first example of an efficient and direct dehydrogenative boration of alkenes for vinyl boronate ester synthesis was achieved using a zirconium catalyst. Our methodology avoids using precious transition metals, additional hydrogen acceptors, high temperatures, and long reaction times, which were required to overcome the reducing ability of borane, to give alkyl boronate esters. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed a reversible reaction pathway and further suggested applying the zirconium complex as a “shuttle catalyst” for transfer boration, which thus sidesteps the use of relatively sensitive borane.

Direct Synthesis of Alkenylboronates from Alkenes and Pinacol Diboron via Copper Catalysis

We report an efficient approach for the direct synthesis of alkenylboronates using copper catalysis. The Cu/TEMPO catalyst system (where TEMPO = (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl) exhibits both excellent reactivity and selectivity for the synthesis of alkenylboronates, starting from inexpensive and abundant alkenes and pinacol diboron. This approach allows for the direct functionalization of both aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkenes. Mechanistic experiments suggest that the alkenylboronates arise from oxyboration intermediates.

La[N(SiMe3)2]3-Catalyzed Hydroboration of Esters and Other Challenging Unsaturated Groups

The commercially available homoleptic lanthanum amide La[N(SiMe3)2]3 (LaNTMS) is reported to enable the hydroboration of esters using pinacolborane (HBpin) as the reducing agent. A wide range of substrates inclu
