Despite steady progress in catalytic methods for the borylation of hydrocarbons, methane has not yet been subject to this transformation. Here we report the iridium-catalyzed borylation of methane using bis(pinacolborane) in cyclohexane solvent. Initially, trace amounts of borylated products were detected with phenanthroline-coordinated Ir complexes. A combination of experimental high-pressure and high-throughput screening, and computational mechanism discovery techniques helped to rationalize the foundation of the catalysis and identify improved phosphine-coordinated catalytic complexes. Optimized conditions of 150°C and 3500-kilopascal pressure led to yields as high as ~52%, turnover numbers of 100, and improved chemoselectivity for monoborylated versus diborylated methane.

A radical-induced 1,2-α-boryl migration through radical polar crossover reactions has been described. In this work, in situ formed vinyldiboron “ate” complexes from alkenyl Grignard reagent and diborylalkanes react with commercial radical precursors under light initiation. This three-component process enables diborylation of alkene. This protocol features high atom economy, a broad substrate scope as well as good functional group toleration with mild conditions.

Aspochalasins are leucine-derived cytochalasins. Their complexity is associated with a high degree of biosynthetic oxidation, herein inspiring a two-phase strategy in total synthesis. We thus describe the synthesis of a putative biomimetic tetracyclic int
