Complexes of Borane and N-Heterocyclic Carbenes: A New Class of Radical Hydrogen Atom Donor
摘要:
Calculations suggest that complexes of borane with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) have B-H bond dissocation energies more then 20 Kcal/mol less than free borane, diborane, borane-THF, and related complexes. Values are in the range of popular radical hydrogen atom donors like tin hydrides (70-80 Kcal/mol). The resulting prediction that NHC borane complexes could be used as radical hydrogen atom donors was verified by radical deoxygenations of xanthates by using either AIBN or triethylborane as initiator.

(E)-β-boryl acrylamides in good to excellent yields. The reaction is tolerant of a variety of functional groups and allows efficient access to novel oxaboroles as well as a pargyline derivative (MAO inhibitor). Theoretical calculations suggest an internal hydride generates a phosphonium allenoxyborane followed by the formation of a key phosphonocyclobutene intermediate that collapses in a stereoselective

Attempted catalytic hydroboration of (4-methoxyphenyl)ethene 1 with R,R-3-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-phenyl-1,3,2-oxazaborolidine 6 proceeded extremely slowly relative to the 3-methyl analog 2 derived from φ-ephedrine when diphosphinerhodium complexes were employed. With phosphine-free rhodium catalysts, especially the 4-methoxyphenylethene complex 7, the reaction proceeded rapidly and quantitatively to

A series of metal amidoboranes LiNH2BH3 (LAB), NaNH2BH3 (SAB), LiNH(Me)BH3 (LMAB), NaNH(Me)BH3 (SMAB), KNH(Me)BH3 (PMAB), and KNH(Bu-t)BH3 (PBAB) were synthesized by solution phase methods, and the thermal release of H-2 in the solid state was studied. The mechanism of hydrogen release from metal amidoboranes, a metal ion assisted hydride transfer, is very different than the mechanism of hydrogen release from the parent compound ammonia borane (AB). On the basis of the observed trends in reaction rates of H > Me > Bu-t, K > Na > Li, and the kinetic isotope effect, the mechanism of hydrogen release from MAB compounds was found to proceed through a bimolecular mechanism involving the intermediacy of a MH (M = Li, Na, or K). The non-volatile products formed from MABs are significantly different than the products formed after hydrogen release from AB. The boron containing products resulting from the release of 1 equiv of hydrogen from the metal amidoboranes were characterized by MAS B-11 NMR spectroscopy and found to contain both BH3 and sp(2) hybridized BH groups, consistent with the general structure MN(R)=BHN(R)MBH3.
Rotational dynamics in ammonia borane: Evidence of strong isotope effects
This work reports anelastic spectroscopy measurements on the partially deuterated (ND3BH3 and NH3BD3) and perdeuterated (ND3BD3) ammonia borane (NH3BH3) compounds. The relaxations previously reported in NH3BH3 are observed in all the samples, and are ascribed to the rotational and torsional dynamics of NH(D)(3)BH(D)(3) complexes.A new thermally activated peak appears at 70 K (for a vibration frequency of similar to 1 kHz) in the spectrum of NH3BD3 and ND3BD3. The peak is practically a single-time Debye process, indicating absence of interaction between the relaxing units, and has a strikingly high intensity. A secondary relaxation process is also detected around 55 K. The anelastic spectrum of the ND3BH3 only displays this less intense process at 55 K. The analysis of the peaks supplies information about the dynamics of the relaxing species, and the obtained results provide indications on the effect of partial and selective deuteration on the hydrogen (deuterium) dynamics.

In the presence of an iridium pincer complex, dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (H3NBH3) occurs rapidly at room temperature in tetrahydrofuran to generate 1.0 equivalent of H2 and [NH2BH2]5. A metal borohydride complex has been isolated as a dormant form of the catalyst which can be reactivated by reaction with H2.
