σ-Bond Hydroboration of Cyclopropanes

Hydroboration of alkenes is a classical reaction in organic synthesis in which alkenes react with boranes to give alkylboranes with subsequent oxidation resulting in alcohols. The double bond (π-bond) of alkenes can be readily reacted with boranes owing to its high reactivity. However, the single bond (σ-bond) of alkanes has never been reacted. To pursue the development of σ-bond cleavage, we selected cyclopropanes as model substrates since they present a relatively weak σ-bond. Herein, we describe an iridium-catalyzed hydroboration of cyclopropanes, resulting in β-methyl alkylboronates. These unusually branched boronates can be derivatized by oxidation or cross-coupling chemistry, accessing "designer"products that are desired by practitioners of natural product synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations and theoretical studies revealed the enabling role of the catalyst.

Chemoselective Synthesis of α-Amino-α-cyanophosphonates by Reductive Gem-Cyanation-Phosphonylation of Secondary Amides

A novel approach to α-amino-α-cyanophosphonates has been developed. The method features a Tf2O-mediated reductive geminal cyanation/phosphonylation of secondary amides. Mild reaction conditions, high bond-forming efficiency, inexpensive readily available starting materials, and good to excellent yields with wide functional group compatibility constitute the main advantages of this method. The protocol can be run on a gram scale.

Towards a Sequential One-Pot Preparation of 1,2,3-Benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones Employing a Key Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed C?H Amidation Step

1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one derivatives have been recognised for their potential application as pesticides and pharmaceuticals and new methodologies for their preparation, starting from readily accessible reagents would therefore be an attractive proposition. A wide range of differently substituted benzamides are readily available, which provide an excellent substrate scaffold for the application of direct C?H functionalization protocols. In this context, herein we report the use of a Cp*Co(III) catalyst for the amidation of these benzamides, using 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones as amidating agent. The isolable intermediate 2-acetamido benzamide products can thereafter be converted to the desired 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one derivatives through the use of tert-butyl nitrite under mild conditions. It was found to be possible to perform the second step with the crude reaction mixture obtained from the initial C?H amidation step, leading to the overall development of a facile one-pot procedure for the preparation of a range of substituted 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one derivatives, requiring only 5 hours of reaction time, which is also applicable on a gram scale. In addition, the key Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed C?H amidation step has been studied by DFT calculations in order to fully elucidate the mechanism. (Figure presented.).

An Annulative Synthetic Strategy for Building Triphenylene Frameworks by Multiple C?H Bond Activations

C?H activation is a versatile tool for appending aryl groups to aromatic systems. However, heavy demands on multiple catalytic cycle operations and site-selectivity have limited its use for graphene segment synthesis. A Pd-catal- yzed one-step synthesis of functionalized triphenylene frameworks is disclosed, which proceeds by 2- or 4-fold C?H arylation of unactivated benzene derivatives. A Pd2(dibenzylideneacetone)3 catalytic system, using cyclic diaryliodonium salts as π-extending agents, leads to site-selective inter- and intramolecular tandem arylation sequences. Moreover, N-substituted triphenylenes are applied to a field-effect transistor sensor for rapid, sensitive, and reversible alcohol vapor detection.
