Palladium‐Catalyzed Cascade Heck Coupling and Allylboration of Iododiboron Compounds via Diboryl Radicals
摘要:
Geminal bis(boronates) are versatile synthetic building blocks in organic chemistry. The fact that they predominantly serve as nucleophiles in the previous reports, however, has restrained their synthetic potential. Herein we disclose the ambiphilic reactivity of α‐halogenated geminal bis(boronates), of which the first catalytic utilization was accomplished by merging a formal Heck cross‐coupling with a highly diastereoselective allylboration of aldehydes or imines, providing a new avenue for rapid assembly of polyfunctionalized boron‐containing compounds. We demonstrated that this cascade reaction is highly efficient and compatible with various functional groups, and a wide range of heterocycles. In contrast to a classical Pd(0/II) scenario, mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations have provided strong evidence for a catalytic cycle involving Pd(I)/diboryl carbon radical intermediates.
An efficient and general method for the chemoselective synthesis of unsymmetrical gem‐diborylalkanes is reported. This method is based on a late‐stage desymmetrization through nucleophilic “trifluorination”, providing chiral gem‐diborylalkanes bearing a trifluoroborate group. The reaction offers a highly modular and diastereoselective approach towards the synthesis of gem‐diborylcyclopropanes. The

A transition metal-free deborylative cyclization strategy led to the efficient synthesis of racemic and enantioenriched cyclopropylboronates. The cyclization of geminal-bis(boronates) bearing a leaving group was highly diastereoselective and stereospecific, tolerating various functional groups and heterocycles. Mechanistic studies indicated that the leaving group at the γ-position significantly promoted

A convenient method is developed to synthesize 1,1-diboronates from the corresponding N-tosylhydrazones. This method is also applicable to synthesize 1-silyl-1-boron compounds. Meanwhile, derivatization and consecutive Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with 1,1-boronates were explored, demonstrating the synthetic potential of 1,1-diboronates.
