Cu-mediated: vs. Cu-free selective borylation of aryl alkyl sulfones

A Cu-catalysed borylation of aryl alkyl sulfones was developed for the high yield synthesis of versatile arylboronic esters using a readily prepared NHC-Cu catalyst. In addition, the selective cleavage of either alkyl(C)-sulfonyl or aryl(C)-sulfonyl bonds

Selective Benzylic CH-Borylations by Tandem Cobalt Catalysis

Metal-catalyzed C?H activations are environmentally and economically attractive synthetic strategies for the construction of functional molecules as they obviate the need for pre-functionalized substrates and minimize waste generation. Great challenges reside in the control of selectivities, the utilization of unbiased hydrocarbons, and the operation of atom-economical dehydrocoupling mechanisms. An especially mild borylation of benzylic CH bonds was developed with the ligand-free pre-catalyst Co[N(SiMe3)2]2 and the bench-stable and inexpensive borylation reagent B2pin2 that produces H2 as the only by-product. A full set of kinetic, spectroscopic, and preparative mechanistic studies are indicative of a tandem catalysis mechanism of CH-borylation and dehydrocoupling via molecular CoI catalysts.

Evaluation of the role of graphene-based Cu(i) catalysts in borylation reactions

Carbon-supported catalysts have been considered as macromolecular ligands which modulate the activity of the metallic catalytic center. Understanding the properties and the factors that control the interactions between the metal and support allows a fine tuning of the catalyzed processes. Although huge effort has been devoted to comprehending binding energies and charge transfer for single atom noble metals, the interaction of graphenic surfaces with cheap and versatile Cu(i) salts has been scarcely studied. A methodical experimental and theoretical analysis of different carbon-based Cu(i) materials in the context of the development of an efficient, general, scalable, and sustainable borylation reaction of aliphatic and aromatic halides has been performed. We have also examined the effect of microwave (MW) radiation in the preparation of these type of materials using sustainable graphite nanoplatelets (GNP) as a support. A detailed analysis of all the possible species in solution revealed that the catalysis is mainly due to an interesting synergetic Cu2O/graphene performance, which has been corroborated by an extensive theoretical study. We demonstrated through DFT calculations at a high level of theory that graphene enhances the reactivity of the metal in Cu2O against the halide derivative favoring a radical departure from the halogen. Moreover, this material is able to stabilize radical intermediates providing unexpected pathways not observed using homogeneous Cu(i) catalysed reactions. Finally, we proved that other common carbon-based supports like carbon black, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide provided poorer results in the borylation process.

Visible-light-driven graphene supported Cu/Pd alloy nanoparticle-catalyzed borylation of alkyl bromides and chlorides in air

A highly efficient photocatalytic protocol for borylation of alkyl bromides and chlorides with graphene supported Cu/Pd alloy nanoparticles as a heterogeneous catalyst is reported. This photocatalytic system operates with visible light in air, providing a wide range of primary and secondary alkyl halides with B2pin2 or B2neop2 in high yields at low temperatures, thereby demonstrating its broad utility and functional group tolerance. The high performance is attributed to a synergistic effect of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Cu and charge transfer from Cu to Pd due to the alloy surface charge heterogeneity. Transfer of energetic electrons from Pd to electrophilic alkyl halides lead to the formation of the alkyl radicals, which quickly react with a nucleophilic adduct of a diboron compound with base adsorbed on the positively charged Cu sites to form the corresponding borylation product.

Photochemical Radical C–H Halogenation of Benzyl N-Methyliminodiacetyl (MIDA) Boronates: Synthesis of α-Functionalized Alkyl Boronates

α-Haloboronates are useful organic synthons that can be converted to a diverse array of α-substituted alkyl borons. Methods to α-haloboronates are limiting and often suffer from harsh reaction conditions. Reported herein is a photochemical radical C-H halogenation of benzyl N-methyliminodiacetyl (MIDA) boronates. Fluorination, chlorination, and bromination reactions were effective by using this protocol. Upon reaction with different nucleophiles, the C?Br bond in the brominated product could be readily transformed to a series of C?C, C?O, C?N, C?S, C?P, and C?I bonds, some of which are difficult to forge with α-halo sp2-B boronate esters. An activation effect of B(MIDA) moiety was found.

Structure-Based Optimization and Discovery of M3258, a Specific Inhibitor of the Immunoproteasome Subunit LMP7 (β5i)

Proteasomes are broadly expressed key components of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway containing catalytically active subunits (β1, β2, and β5). LMP7 (β5i) is a subunit of the immunoproteasome, an inducible isoform that is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells. Clinically effective pan-proteasome inhibitors for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) nonselectively target LMP7 and other subunits of the constitutive proteasome and immunoproteasome with comparable potency, which can limit the therapeutic applicability of these drugs. Here, we describe the discovery and structure-based hit optimization of novel amido boronic acids, which selectively inhibit LMP7 while sparing all other subunits. The exploitation of structural differences between the proteasome subunits culminated in the identification of the highly potent, exquisitely selective, and orally available LMP7 inhibitor 50 (M3258). Based on the strong antitumor activity observed with M3258 in MM models and a favorable preclinical data package, a phase I clinical trial was initiated in relapsed/refractory MM patients.

Arene borylation through C–H activation using Cu3(BTC)2 as heterogeneous catalyst

C–H borylation by diborane is an important process to access organoboron compounds. Noble metals, including Ir and Rh-based complexes either in the form of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts, have been reported to promote arene C–H borylation. Recently, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) having Ir and Co as active sites have been used as catalysts, but they require co-catalysts. In the present study, commercially available Cu3(BTC)2 (BTC: 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) MOF is reported as an effective catalyst to promote borylation of arenes through C–H activation employing bis(pinacolato)diboron (1) as reagent leading to benzylic and aromatic borylation products. Interestingly, other related MOFs like MIL-101(Cr) and Al(OH)(BDC) (BDC: 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) do not exhibit catalytic activity under identical conditions. Mechanistic studies using in-situ IR spectroscopy reveal that Cu ions play a crucial role in activating the arene and B–B bond in 1.

Photoinduced NaI-Promoted Radical Borylation of Alkyl Halides and Pseudohalides

Practical Synthesis of Allyl, Allenyl, and Benzyl Boronates through SN1′-Type Borylation under Heterogeneous Gold Catalysis

Efficient borylation of sp3 C-O bonds by supported Au catalysts is described. Au nanoparticles supported on TiO2 showed high activity under mild conditions employing low catalyst loading conditions without the aid of any additives, such as phosphine and bases. A variety of allyl, propargyl, and benzyl substrates participated in the heterogeneously catalyzed reactions to furnish the corresponding allyl, allenyl, and benzyl boronates in high yields. Besides, Au/TiO2 was also effective for the direct borylation of allylic and benzylic alcohols. A mechanistic investigation based on a Hammett study and control experiments revealed that sp3 C-O bond borylation over supported Au catalysts proceeded through SN1′-type mechanism involving the formation of a carbocationic intermediate. The high activity, reusability, and environmental compatibility of the supported Au catalysts as well as the scalability of the reaction system enable the practical synthesis of valuable organoboron compounds.
