Boroxine and dioxaborole are the first and some of the most studied synthons of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Despite their wide application in the design of functional COFs over the last 15 years, their synthesis still relies on the original Yaghi's condensation of boronic acids (with itself or with polyfunctional catechols), some of which are difficult to prepare, poorly soluble, or unstable in the presence of water. Here, we propose a new synthetic approach to boroxine COFs (on the basis of the transesterification of pinacol aryl boronates (aryl-Bpins) with methyl boronic acid (MBA) and dioxaborole COFs (through the metathesis of pinacol boronates with MBA-protected catechols). The aryl-Bpin and MBA-protected catechols are easy to purify, highly soluble, and bench-stable. Furthermore, the kinetic analysis of the two model reactions reveals high reversibility (Keq ～1) and facile control over the equilibrium. Unlike the conventional condensation, which forms water as a byproduct, the byproduct of the metathesis (MBA pinacolate) allows for easy kinetic measurements of the COF formation by conventional 1H NMR. We show the generality of this approach by the synthesis of seven known boroxine/dioxaborole COFs whose crystallinity is better or equal to those reported by conventional condensation. We also apply metathesis polymerization to obtain two new COFs, Py4THB and B2HHTP, whose synthesis was previously precluded by the insolubility and hydrolytic instability, respectively, of the boronic acid precursors.

A rhodium-catalyzed [4 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition involving 1,3-diene, alkyne, and silylene to afford silicon-containing seven-membered rings was established. In the presence of a rhodium catalyst bearing bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (DPPM), nona-1,3-dien-8-yne derivatives reacted efficiently at 80-110 °C with boryl(isopropoxy)silane or boryl(diethyamino)silane, which reacts as the synthetic equivalent of silylene, to afford 1-silacyclohepta-2,5-dienes (2,5-dihydro-1H-silepines). Regiodivergent and chemo- and stereoselective functionalization of the seven-membered nonconjugated diene was achieved by hydroboration mediated by Cs2CO3 or an iridium catalyst.

As a new energy source that could replace petroleum, the global reserves of methane hydrate (combustible ice) are estimated to be approximately 20 000 trillion cubic meters. A large amount of methane hydrate has been found under the seabed, but the transportation and storage of methane gas far from coastlines are technically unfeasible and expensive. The direct conversion of methane into value-added chemicals and liquid fuels is highly desirable but remains challenging. Herein, we prepare a series of iridium complexes based on porous polycarbazoles with high specific areas and good thermochemical stabilities. Through structure tuning we optimized their catalytic activities for the selective monoborylation of methane. One of these catalysts (CAL-3-Ir) can produce methyl boronic acid pinacol ester (CH3Bpin) in 29 % yield in 9 h with a turnover frequency (TOF) of approximately 14 h?1. Because its pore sizes favor monoborylated products, it has a high chemoselectivity for monoborylation (CH3Bpin:CH2(Bpin)2=16:1).
