Metal-Free Arene and Heteroarene Borylation Catalyzed by Strongly Electrophilic Bis-boranes

The geminal chelate bis-borylalkanes 4 and 5 featuring strongly electrophilic B(C6F5)2 and B(C6F5) groups, respectively, serve as efficient catalysts for the borylation of arenes and heteroarenes. The

Benzoic Acid-Promoted C2-H Borylation of Indoles with Pinacolborane

A benzoic acid-promoted C2-H borylation of indoles with pinacolborane to afford C2-borylated indoles is developed. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate BH3-related borane species formed via the decomposition of pinacolborane to be the probable catalyst. This transformation provides a prompt route toward the synthesis of diverse C2-functionalized indoles.

Preparation method of benzoheterocyclic-3-boric acid

The invention discloses a preparation method of benzoheterocycle-3-boric acid, and belongs to the technical field of organic boric acid chemistry. The method comprises the following steps: starting from benzoheterocycle, carrying out selective Friedel-Crafts reaction on benzoheterocycle and boron trihalide in the presence of a catalyst, and carrying out hydrolyzing to obtain benzoheterocycle-3-boric acid. According to the method, proper catalysts and reaction conditions are selected, boric acid is obtained after high-selectivity positioning and hydrolysis are conducted on the heterocycle 3 position, and the benzoheterocycle-3-boric acid is obtained after purification by means of the property difference of the boric acid on the 2 position and the boric acid on the 3 position. The method provides a simple synthesis path for benzoheterocycle-3-boric acid, and has the advantages of high yield and easy isomer purification.

Zinc catalysed C3-H borylation of indoles and 1,1-diboration of terminal alkynes

A low catalyst loading Zn(OTf)2-catalysed C3-H borylation of indoles with pinacolborane was developed. This transformation represents the use of an abundant, cheap and environmentally benign zinc catalyst in catalytic direct aromatic C-H borylation and offers a simple and prompt route towards the synthesis of C3-borylated indoles. The 1,1-diboration of terminal alkynes was also achieved using the same catalytic system to produce 1,1-diborylated alkenes.

Organophosphorus-catalyzed relay oxidation of H-Bpin: electrophilic C-H borylation of heteroarenes

A nontrigonal phosphorus triamide (1, P{N[o-NMe-C6H4]2}) is shown to catalyze C-H borylation of electron-rich heteroarenes with pinacolborane (HBpin) in the presence of a mild chloroalkane reagent. C-H borylation proceeds for a range of electron-rich heterocycles including pyrroles, indoles, and thiophenes of varied substitution. Mechanistic studies implicate an initial P-N cooperative activation of HBpin by1to giveP-hydrido diazaphospholene2, which is diverted by Atherton-Todd oxidation with chloroalkane to generateP-chloro diazaphospholene3. DFT calculations suggest subsequent oxidation of pinacolborane by3generates chloropinacolborane (ClBpin) as a transient electrophilic borylating species, consistent with observed substituent effects and regiochemical outcomes. These results illustrate the targeted diversion of established reaction pathways in organophosphorus catalysis to enable a new mode of main group-catalyzed C-H borylation.

Zinc catalysed electrophilic C-H borylation of heteroarenes

Cationic zinc Lewis acids catalyse the C-H borylation of heteroarenes using pinacol borane (HBPin) or catechol borane (HBCat). An electrophile derived from [IDippZnEt][B(C6F5)4] (IDipp = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) combined withN,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMT) proved the most active in terms of C-H borylation scope and yield. Using this combination weakly activated heteroarenes, such as thiophene, were amenable to catalytic C-H borylation using HBCat. Competition reactions show these IDipp-zinc cations are highly oxophilic but less hydridophilic (relative to B(C6F5)3), and that borylation proceedsviaactivation of the hydroborane (and not the heteroarene) by a zinc electrophile. Based on DFT calculations this activation is proposed to proceed by coordination of a hydroborane oxygen to the zinc centre to generate a boron electrophile that effects C-H borylation. Thus, Lewis acid binding to oxygen sites of hydroboranes represents an under-developed route to access reactive borenium-type electrophiles for C-H borylation.

Alkylammoniotrifluoroborate functionalized polystyrenes: Polymeric pre-catalysts for the metal-free borylation of heteroarenes

Three polymeric versions of ansa-N,N-dialkylammoniumtrifluoroborate ambiphilic molecules based on the styrene motif (poly(1-NMe2H+-2-BF3--4-styrene) (P-Me), poly(1-NEt2H+-2-BF3--4-styrene) (P-Et) and poly(1-piperidinyl-H+-2-BF3--4-styrene) (P-Pip)) were synthesized, characterized and tested as heterogeneous pre-catalysts for the borylation of electron-rich heteroarenes. These heterogeneous versions of previously reported pre-catalysts show similar reactivity patterns and represent the first examples of solid-supported FLP metal-free catalysts for the C-H borylation of heteroarenes.

Isodesmic C-H Borylation: Perspectives and Proof of Concept of Transfer Borylation Catalysis

The potential advantages of using arylboronic esters as boron sources in C-H borylation are discussed. The concept is showcased using commercially available 2-mercaptopyridine as a metal-free catalyst for the transfer borylation of heteroarenes using arylboronates as borylation agents. The catalysis shows a unique functional group tolerance among C-H borylation reactions, tolerating notably terminal alkene and alkyne functional groups. The mechanistic investigation is also described.

Control Interlayer Stacking and Chemical Stability of Two-Dimensional Covalent Organic Frameworks via Steric Tuning

Layer stacking and chemical stability are crucial for two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs), but are yet challenging to gain control. In this work, we demonstrate synthetic control of both the layer stacking and chemical stability of 2D COFs by managing interlayer steric hindrance via a multivariate (MTV) approach. By co-condensation of triamines with and without alkyl substituents (ethyl and isopropyl) and a di- or trialdehyde, a family of two-, three-, and four-component 2D COFs with AA, AB, or ABC stacking is prepared. The alkyl groups are periodically appended on the channel walls and their contents, which can be synthetically tuned by the MTV strategy, control the stacking model and chemical stability of 2D COFs by maximizing the total crystal stacking energy and protecting hydrolytically susceptible backbones through kinetic blocking. Specifically, the COFs with higher concentration of alkyl substituents adopt AB or ABC stacking, while lower amount of functionalities leads to the AA stacking. The COFs bearing high concentration of isopropyl groups represent the first identified COFs that can retain crystallinity and porosity in boiling 20 M NaOH solution. After postsynthetic metalation with an iridium complex, the 2,2′-bipyridyl-derived COFs can heterogeneously catalyze C-H borylation of arenes, whereas the COF with isopropyl groups exhibits much higher activity than the COFs with ethyl groups and nonsubstituents due to the increased porosity and chemical stability. This work underscores the opportunity in using steric hindrance to tune and control layer stacking, chemical stability and properties of 2D COFs.

Practical and Scalable Synthesis of Borylated Heterocycles Using Bench-Stable Precursors of Metal-Free Lewis Pair Catalysts

A practical and scalable metal-free catalytic method for the borylation and borylative dearomatization of heteroarenes has been developed. This synthetic method uses inexpensive and conveniently synthesizable bench-stable precatalysts of the form 1-NHR2-2-BF3-C6H4, commercially and synthetically accessible heteroarenes as substrates, and pinacolborane as the borylation reagent. The preparation of several borylated heterocycles on 2 and 50 g scales was achieved under solvent-free conditions without the use of Schlenk techniques or a glovebox. A kilogram-scale borylation of one of the heteroarene substrates was also achieved using this cost-effective green methodology to exemplify the fact that our methodology can be conveniently implemented in fine chemical industries.
