Elusive Metal-Free Primary Amination of Arylboronic Acids: Synthetic Studies and Mechanism by Density Functional Theory
摘要:
Herein, we disclose the first metal-free synthesis of primary aromatic amines from arylboronic acids, a reaction that has eluded synthetic chemists for decades. This remarkable transformation affords structurally diverse primary arylamines in good chemical yields, including a variety of halogenated primary anilines that often cannot be prepared via transition-metal-catalyzed amination. The reaction is operationally simple, requires only a slight excess of aminating agent, proceeds under neutral or basic conditions, and, importantly, can be scaled up to provide multigram quantities of primary anilines. Density functional calculations reveal that the most likely mechanism involves a facile 1,2-aryl migration and that the presence of an ortho nitro group in the aminating agent plays a critical role in lowering the free energy barrier of the 1,2-aryl migration step.

ex-situ generation of difluoroiodomethane (DFIM) and its immediate use in a Pd-catalyzed difluoromethylation of aryl boronic acids and ester derivatives in a two-chamber reactor is reported. Heating a solution of bromodifluoroacetic acid with sodium iodide in sulfolane proved to be effective for the generation of near stoichiometric amounts of DFIM for the ensuing catalytic coupling step. A two-step difluoromethylation

Efficient and Convenient Nonaqueous Workup Procedure for the Preparation of Arylboronic Esters
An efficient one-pot synthetic protocol for the synthesis of arylboronic esters has been established. The concentrated addition mixture of trimethylborate with aryl Grignard reagents was treated with low molecular weight diols (ethylene glycol, 1,3-propandiol) and toluene, the corresponding arylboronic esters were isolated in a convenient way with high yields. The diols not only serve as water replacement
