Phosphine-Catalyzed Anti-Carboboration of Alkynoates with Alkyl-, Alkenyl-, and Arylboranes
摘要:
We found that trialkylphosphine organo-catalysts promoted unprecedented anti-carboboration of alkynoates with alkyl-, alkenyl-, or arylboranes to form beta-boryl acrylates. The regioselectivity of the carboboration across the polar C-C triple bond exhibited inverse electronic demand, with the less electronegative B atom being delivered to the positively charged beta carbon atom. The regioselectivity and the anti stereoselectivity were both complete and robust. In addition, the substrate scope was broad with excellent functional group compatibility.
Trialkylphosphine organocatalysts have enabled regioselective anti-hydroboration of internal, alkynes with pinacolborane reagents to provide (E)-disubstituted alkenylboronate compounds. The alkenyl-boronate can be used for derivatizations, such as protodeborylation, Suzuld-Miyaura coupling, conjugate reduction, and Diels-Alder reactions.
