Regioselective Diversification of 2,1-Borazaronaphthalenes: Unlocking Isosteric Space via C–H Activation
摘要:
Methods for the regioselective C-H borylation and subsequent cross-coupling of the 2,1-borazaronaphthalene core are reported. Azaborines are dependent on B-N/C=C isosterism when employed in strategies for developing diverse heterocyclic scaffolds. Although 2,1-borazaronaphthalene is closely related to naphthalene in terms of structure, the argument is made that the former has electronic similarities to indole. Based on that premise, iridium-mediated C-H activation has enabled facile installation of a versatile, nucleophilic coupling handle at a previously inaccessible site of 2,1-borazaronaphthalenes. A variety of substituted 2,1-borazaronaphthalene cores can be successfully borylated and further cross coupled in a facile manner to yield diverse C(8)-substituted 2,1-borazaronaphthalenes.
A Convergent, Modular Approach to Functionalized 2,1-Borazaronaphthalenes from 2-Aminostyrenes and Potassium Organotrifluoroborates
摘要:
Azaborines are an important class of compounds with applications in both medicinal chemistry and materials science. The first borazaronaphthalene, 2-chloro-2,1-borazaronaphthalene, was reported in 1959; however, access to more highly functionalized substructures has been limited because of the harsh reaction conditions required to displace the chloride on boron. A convergent approach has been developed to synthesize disubstituted 2,1-borazaronaphthalenes from N-substituted 2-aminostyrenes and potassium organotrifluoroborates, where the potassium organotrifluoroborate is converted to the active R-BX2 species (X = Cl or F) in situ by addition of a fluorophile. Starting from aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkynyl-, alkenyl-, and alkyltrifluoroborates, a library of highly functionalized 2,1-borazaronaphthalenes were synthesized in one step under mild, transition-metal-free conditions.

By means of stepwise asymmetric allylic substitution-isomerization (AASI) strategy, diaxially chiral B,N-heterocycles bearing B−C and C−N axes that are related to the moieties of axiallychiral enamines and arylborons were obtained. Density functional theory (DFT) studies demonstrated that the NH⋅⋅⋅π interactions played a unique effect on the promotion of stereospecific isomerization.
