Alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) contain a highly strained cyclopropane ring and an exomethylene group. The transition metal-catalyzed borylative difunctionalization of ACPs provides swift access to useful building blocks. However, most existing reactions lead 1,3-difunctionalization products. ring-opening 1,1-difunctionalization has not been reported. Herein, we report diborylation for the synthesis γ,δ-unsaturated 1,1-diborylated compounds using our developed SNIr-X catalyst. It represents rare progress in gem-diborylation ACPs. Combined experimental computational studies reveal substrate scope mechanism this transformation. 1,1-diborylation reaction proceeds via Ir(I)/Ir(III)-catalyzed borylation/Ir-migration/borylation process. Control experiments density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that direct hydrogen migration involving M–H species should be involved diaryl-substituted substrate, while monoaryl-substituted proceeded β-H elimination-induced chain-walking In addition, two other types substrates was investigated. Substituted methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) produced 1,4-diborylated products, cyclopropyl-substituted gave 1,7-diborylation

Simple nucleophiles with structural similarities to known hydroboration catalysts can readily mediate the formation of BH3 and borohydride species from pinacolborane (HBpin). Alkyne alkene reactions were successfully mediated by through generation, BH3-catalyzed found dominate catalysis. NMR spectroscopy kinetic analyses showed that NaOtBu, Na[N(SiMe3)2], nBu2Mg, nBuLi only promoted not "true" catalysts.

While 1,1-diboryl (gem-diboryl) compounds are valuable synthetic building blocks, currently, related studies have mainly focused on those alkanes without a hetero functional group in the α-position. gem-Diboryl with an α-hetero substituent, though highly versatile, been limitedly accessible and thus rarely utilized. Herein, we developed first α-dihydroboration of heteroalkynes leading to efficient construction gem-diboryl, hetero-, tetra-substituted carbon centers. This straightforward, practical, mild, atom-economic reaction is attractive complement conventional multistep strategy relying deprotonation gem-diborylmethane by strong base. Specifically, [Ir(cod)(OMe)]2 was found be uniquely effective for this process thioalkynes, excellent α-regioselectivity when delivering two boryl groups, which remarkable view many competitive paths including monohydroboration, 1,2-dihydroboration, dehydrodiboration, triboration, tetraboration, etc. Control experiments combined DFT calculations suggested that involves sequential hydroboration events. The second requires higher energy barrier due severe steric repulsion generating congested α-sulfenyl gem-diboryl center, structural motif almost unknown before.
