A method was developed for the hydroboration of alkenyl-containing organotrifluoroborates to generate dibora intermediates. The reactivity differences between organotrifluoroborates and trialkylboranes facilitated the cross-coupling of the borane moiety of these intermediates in a highly chemoselective fashion with aryl halides, leaving the trifluoroborate intact for subsequent transformation. A one-pot hydroboration/two-directional cross-coupling sequence was also demonstrated, providing the fully elaborated products in good yields. These conditions were also amenable in the cross-coupling of trialkylboranes to halo-containing organotrifluoroborates. The stability of the trifluoroborate moiety to these conditions allows simple and efficient strategies for complex molecule construction.

Previous studies of orthogonally reactive dibora species led to the discovery of a unique reactivity pattern associated with potassium vinyltrifluoroborate. Upon hydroboration, the vinyltrifluoroborate generates a 1,2-diboraethane, which is distinct from the 1,1-dibora intermediates generated when traditional alkenyldialkylboron species undergo hydroboration. The 1,2-dianion equivalent thus generated can be envisioned as a building block for the linkage of two different electrophiles via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings.
