ConspectusCarboranes are a class of polyhedral carbon-boron molecular clusters featuring three-dimensional aromaticity, which often considered as 3D analogues benzene. Their unique structural and electronic properties make them invaluable building blocks for applications ranging from functional materials to versatile ligands pharmaceuticals. Thus, selective functionalization carboranes has received tremendous research interest. In earlier days, the vast majority works in this area were focused on cage carbon via facile deprotonation CH, followed by reaction with electrophiles. On contrary, B-H activation is very challenging since 10 bonds o-carborane similar, how achieve desired transformation at specific boron vertex long-standing issue.As more electronegative than boron, property results different charges cage, follow order B(3,6)-H ≪ B(4,5,7,11)-H < B(8,10)-H B(9,12)-H. We thought that difference may trigger favorite interaction proper transition metal complex bond carborane, could be utilized solve selectivity issue. Accordingly, our strategy described follows: (1) electron-rich catalysts good most electron-deficient (connected both C-H vertices); (2) relatively B(8,9,10,12)-H (with no bonding either (3) directing-group-assisted catalysis appropriate only one vertex), whose lie middle range bonds. This been successfully applied laboratory other groups development series synthetic routes catalytic carborane resulting synthesis large number cage-boron-functionalized derivatives regioselective fashion. Subsequently, significant progress emerging made.In 2013 we reported tetrafluorination o-carboranes using an Pd(II) salt, [Pd(MeCN)4][BF4], catalyst. 2014 disclosed first example carboxy-directed alkenylation B(4) promoted Ir(III) 2017 presented Ir(I)-catalyzed diborylation also uncovered Pd-catalyzed asymmetric chiral-at-cage 2018. These proof-of-principle studies have greatly stimulated activities enabled catalysts. so far developed toolbox methods B-olefination, -arylation, -alkenylation, -alkynylation, -oxygenation, -sulfenylation, -borylation, -halogenation, -amination. recently expanded base catalysis. As field progresses, expect will invented, detailed Account promote these efforts.

Abstract Carboranes are a class of carbon-boron molecular clusters, possessing extraordinary characteristics including three-dimensional aromaticity conjugated by σ-bonds, icosahedral geometry and inherent robustness. They finding growing applications as valuable building blocks in boron neutron capture therapy agents, pharmacophores, nanomaterials, optoelectronic, organometallic/coordination chemistry more. Therefore, the effective controlled functionalization carboranes has attracted enormous research interests, particularly regio- enantio-selective cage BH derivatization among ten chemically similar vertices o-carboranes. Only recent few years, significant progress been made transition metal catalyzed vertex-specific functionalization. This review summarizes advances this realm.

Copper-Catalyzed Electrochemical Selective B–H Oxygenation of o-Carboranes at Room Temperature

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 142(15), С. 6940 - 6945

Опубликована: Март 31, 2020

Copper-catalyzed electrochemical selective cage B–H oxygenation of o-carboranes has been achieved for the first time. Under a constant electric current (4.0 mA) at room temperature, copper-catalyzed cross-coupling carboranyl amides with lithium phenolates results in formation B(4,5)-diphenolated via direct activation, whereas use tert-butoxide affords B(4)-monooxygenated products. This reaction does not require any additional chemical oxidants and generates H2 salt as byproducts. Control experiments indicated that high-valent Cu(III) species is likely involved process.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 61(20)

Опубликована: Фев. 11, 2022

Abstract Carboranes are boron–carbon molecular clusters that possess unique properties, such as their icosahedron geometry, high boron content, and delocalized three‐dimensional aromaticity. These features render carboranes valuable building blocks for applications in supramolecular design, nanomaterials, optoelectronics, organometallic coordination chemistry, neutron capture therapy (BNCT) agents. Despite tremendous progress this field, stoichiometric chemical redox reagents largely required the oxidative activation of carborane cages. In context, electrosyntheses represent an alternative strategy more sustainable syntheses. It is only recent few years considerable has been made electrochemical cage functionalization carboranes, which summarized Minireview. We anticipate electrocatalysis will serve increasingly powerful stimulus within current renaissance electrochemistry.
