Remarkably Efficient Iridium Catalysts for Directed C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H Borylation of Diverse Classes of Substrates

Here we describe the discovery of a new class of C-H borylation catalysts and their use for regioselective C-H borylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic systems. The new catalysts have Ir-C(thienyl) or Ir-C(furyl) anionic ligands instead of the diamine-type neutral chelating ligands used in the standard C-H borylation conditions. It is reported that the employment of these newly discovered catalysts show excellent reactivity and ortho-selectivity for diverse classes of aromatic substrates with high isolated yields. Moreover, the catalysts proved to be efficient for a wide number of aliphatic substrates for selective C(sp3)-H bond borylations. Heterocyclic molecules are selectively borylated using the inherently elevated reactivity of the C-H bonds. A number of late-stage C-H functionalization have been described using the same catalysts. Furthermore, we show that one of the catalysts could be used even in open air for the C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H borylations enabling the method more general. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the active catalytic intermediate is the Ir(bis)boryl complex, and the attached ligand acts as bidentate ligand. Collectively, this study underlines the discovery of new class of C-H borylation catalysts that should find wide application in the context of C-H functionalization chemistry.

Transient imine as a directing group for the metal-free o-C-H borylation of benzaldehydes

Organoboron reagents are important synthetic intermediates and have wide applications in synthetic organic chemistry. The selective borylation strategies that are currently in use largely rely on the use of transition-metal catalysts. Hence, identifying much milder conditions for transition-metal-free borylation would be highly desirable. We herein present a unified strategy for the selective C-H borylation of electron-deficient benzaldehyde derivatives using a simple metal-free approach, utilizing an imine transient directing group. The strategy covers a wide spectrum of reactions and (i) even highly sterically hindered C-H bonds can be borylated smoothly, (ii) despite the presence of other potential directing groups, the reaction selectively occurs at the o-C-H bond of the benzaldehyde moiety, and (iii) natural products appended to benzaldehyde derivatives can also give the appropriate borylated products. Moreover, the efficacy of the protocol was confirmed by the fact that the reaction proceeds even in the presence of a series of external impurities.

Structure-Reactivity Relationship in the Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP)-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Imines

The autoinduced, frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)-catalyzed hydrogenation of 16-benzene-ring substituted N-benzylidene-tert-butylamines with B(2,6-F2C6H3)3 and molecular hydrogen was investigated by kinetic analysis. The pKa values for imines and for the corresponding amines were determined by quantum-mechanical methods and provided a direct proportional relationship. The correlation of the two rate constants k1 (simple catalytic cycle) and k2 (autoinduced catalytic cycle) with pKa difference between imine and amine pairs (ΔpKa) or Hammett's σ parameter served as useful parameters to establish a structure-reactivity relationship for the FLP-catalyzed hydrogenation of imines.

Formal Ir-Catalyzed Ligand-Enabled Ortho and Meta Borylation of Aromatic Aldehydes via in Situ-Generated Imines

The ligand-enabled development of ortho and meta C-H borylation of aromatic aldehydes is reported. It was envisaged that while ortho borylation could be achieved using tert-butylamine as the traceless protecting/directing group, meta borylation proceeds via an electrostatic interaction and a secondary interaction between the ligand of the catalyst and the substrate. These ligand-substrate electrostatic interactions and secondary B-N interactions provide an unprecedented controlling factor for meta-selective C-H activation/borylation.

Hydrogen peroxide/dimethyl carbonate: A green system for epoxidation of: N -alkylimines and N -sulfonylimines. One-pot synthesis of N -alkyloxaziridines from N -alkylamines and (hetero)aromatic aldehydes

A green method for epoxidation of imines using an environmentally benign oxidant system, H2O2/dimethyl carbonate, was developed. N-Alkyloxaziridines were prepared in high yields from N-alkylamines and (hetero)aromatic aldehydes in one-pot fashion, whereas N-sulfonyloxaziridines have been prepared by using the same oxidant system and 5 mol% of Zn(OAc)2·2H2O as catalyst.

Regio- and Chemoselective Kumada-Tamao-Corriu Reaction of Aryl Alkyl Ethers Catalyzed by Chromium under Mild Conditions

Acting as an environmentally benign synthetic tool, the cross-coupling reactions with aryl ethers via C-O bond activation have attracted broad interest. However, the functionalizations of C-O bonds are mainly limited to nickel catalysis, and selectivity has long been a prominent challenge when several C-O bonds are present in the one molecule. We report here the first chromium-catalyzed selective cross-coupling reactions of aryl ethers with Grignard reagents by the cleavage of C-O(alkyl) bonds. Diverse transformations were achieved using simple, inexpensive chromium(II) precatalyst combining imino auxiliary at room temperature. It offers a new avenue for buildup functionalized aromatic aldehydes with high efficiency and selectivity.

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of aldehydes from aryl halides and tert-butyl isocyanide using formate salts as hydride donors

An efficient one-pot palladium-catalyzed hydroformylation of aryl halides to produce aromatic aldehydes has been achieved, employing tert-butyl isocyanide as a C1 resource and formate salt as a hydride donor without any additional bases. Characterized by its mild reaction conditions, easy operation and lower toxicity, this reaction can tolerate a wide array of functional groups with moderate to excellent yields.

Synthesis of dihydrobenzisoxazoles by the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of arynes and oxaziridines

Dihydrobenzisoxazoles are readily prepared in good yields by the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of oxaziridines and arynes. The reaction involves an unusual cleavage of the C-O bond of the oxaziridine and tolerates a variety of substituents on the oxaziridine and the o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflate to form aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkyl-, and naphthyl-substituted dihydrobenzisoxazoles. The resulting halogen-substituted dihydrobenzisoxazoles are readily elaborated to more complex products using palladium-catalyzed crossing-coupling processes.

Isoquinoline synthesis via rhodium-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling/ cyclization of aryl aldimines and alkynes

(Chemical Equation Presented) A general rhodium-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction between internal alkynes and aryl aldimines is described. This process affords 3,4-disubstituted isoquinolines in good yield and high regioselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the C-N bond formation arises from the reductive elimination of a rhodium(III) species.
