ConspectusChemo- and stereoselective transformations of polyborylalkanes are powerful efficient methods to access optically active molecules with greater complexity diversity through programmed synthetic design. Among the various polyborylalkanes, gem-diborylalkanes have attracted much attention in organic chemistry as versatile handles. The notable advantage lies their ability generate two key intermediates, α-borylalkyl anions (gem-diborylalkyl) anions. These different intermediates can be applied enantioselective reactions rapidly a diverse set enantioenriched organoboron compounds, which further manipulated chiral molecule libraries via stereospecific C(sp3)–B bond transformations.In this Account, we summarize our recent contributions development catalytic chemo- using nucleophiles, categorized follows: (1) copper-catalyzed coupling electrophiles (2) design synthesis (diborylmethyl)metallic species applications reactions. Since Shibata Endo reported Pd-catalyzed chemoselective Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling organohalides 2014, Morken Hall subsequently developed first analogous TADDOL-derived phosphoramidite supporting ligand palladium catalyst. This discovery sparked interest electrophiles. Our initial studies focused on generating (α-borylmethyl)copper by enantiotopic-group-selective transmetalation copper complexes aldimines ketimines afford syn-β-aminoboronate esters excellent enantio- diastereoselectivity. Moreover, allylation that proceeded reaction situ-generated (α-borylalkyl)copper allyl bromides. Mechanistic investigations revealed between complex occurred open transition state rather than closed state, thereby effectively species. We also utilized such (diborylmethyl)silanes (diborylmethyl)zinc halides succeeded developing aryl iodides benzylic 1,1-silylboronate esters, could used for consecutive molecules. In addition, synthesized time isolated (diborylmethyl)lithium zinc(II) utilization bearing center at β-position an iridium-catalyzed allylic substitution process. addition research efforts, include other groups. hope Account will draw community gem-diboryl compounds provide guiding principles future compounds.

Facile Access to Cyclopropylboronates via Stereospecific Deborylative Cyclization: A Leaving Group‐Assisted Activation of Geminal Diborons

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 62(21)

Опубликована: Март 24, 2023

Herein we reported a transition metal-free deborylative cyclization strategy, based on which two routes have been developed, generating racemic and enantioenriched cyclopropylboronates. The of geminal-bis(boronates) bearing leaving group was highly diastereoselective, tolerating few functional groups applicable to heterocycles. When optically active epoxides were used as the starting materials, cyclopropylboronates could be efficiently prepared with >99 % stereospecificity. Mechanistic studies showed that at γ-position played crucial role significantly promoted activation gem-diboron moiety.

Abstract Asymmetric cross‐couplings based on 1,2‐carbon migration from B‐ate complexes have been developed efficiently to access valuable organoboronates. However, enantioselective reactions triggered by 1,2‐boron shift remained be unaddressed synthetic challenge. Here, Ir‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation enabled was developed. In this reaction, we disclosed that excellent enantioselectivities were achieved through an interesting dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) process of carbonates at the elevated temperature. Notably, highly (bis‐boryl)alkenes array diversifications versatile molecules. Extensive experimental and computational studies conducted elucidate reaction mechanism DKR clarify origin enantioselectivities.

Palladium‐Catalyzed Cascade Heck Coupling and Allylboration of Iododiboron Compounds via Diboryl Radicals

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 63(18)

Опубликована: Март 6, 2024

Geminal bis(boronates) are versatile synthetic building blocks in organic chemistry. The fact that they predominantly serve as nucleophiles the previous reports, however, has restrained their potential. Herein we disclose ambiphilic reactivity of α-halogenated geminal bis(boronates), which first catalytic utilization was accomplished by merging a formal Heck cross-coupling with highly diastereoselective allylboration aldehydes or imines, providing new avenue for rapid assembly polyfunctionalized boron-containing compounds. We demonstrated this cascade reaction is efficient and compatible various functional groups, wide range heterocycles. In contrast to classical Pd(0/II) scenario, mechanistic experiments DFT calculations have provided strong evidence cycle involving Pd(I)/diboryl carbon radical intermediates.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 63(5)

Опубликована: Дек. 15, 2023

The construction of acyclic, non-adjacent 1,3-stereogenic centers, prevalent motifs in drugs and bioactive molecules, has been a long-standing synthetic challenge due to acyclic nucleophiles being distant from the chiral environment. In this study, we successfully synthesized highly valuable 1,2-bis(boronic) esters featuring nonadjacent 1,3-stereocenters. Notably, reaction selectively produces migratory coupling products rather than alternative deborylative allylation or direct byproducts. This approach introduces new activation mode for selective transformations gem-diborylmethane asymmetric catalysis. Additionally, found that other gem-diborylalkanes, previously challenging steric hindrance, also participated reaction. incorporation 1,2-bis(boryl)alkenes facilitated diversification alkenyl two boron moieties our target compounds, thereby enabling access broad array versatile molecules. DFT calculations were performed elucidate mechanism shed light on factors responsible observed excellent enantioselectivity diastereoselectivity.
