catalytic dehydrogenativeborylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds with dialkoxyboranes (RO)2BH is particularly attractive. It has been demonstrated for a variety of carbon-hydrogen bond types but not for the C(sp)-H bonds of terminalalkynes, for which hydroboration of the triple bond is a competing process. We report a new iridium catalyst that is strictly chemoselective for C-H borylation of terminal alkynes
具有碳硼键的化合物是通用中间体,可通过将碳硼键加工成其他碳元素键来构建更复杂的分子。通过碳-氢键与二烷氧基硼烷 (RO)2BH 的催化脱氢硼酸化合成碳-硼键特别有吸引力。它已被证明适用于各种碳氢键类型,但不适用于末端炔烃的 C(sp)-H 键,因此三键的硼氢化是一个竞争过程。我们报告了一种新的铱催化剂,它对末端炔烃的 CH 硼酸化具有严格的化学选择性。这种催化剂成功的关键似乎是新的辅助 SiNN 钳配体,它结合了酰胺基、喹啉和甲硅烷基供体,并产生结构上不寻常的 Ir 配合物。

reaction to convert terminalalkynes into triborylalkenes is reported. In the first step, the terminalalkyne and pinacolborane (HBpin) are converted into an alkynylboronate, which is catalyzed by an iridium complex supported by a SiNN pincer ligand. In the second step, treatment of the reaction mixture with CO generates a new catalyst which mediates dehydrogenative diboration of alkynylboronate with
Hydrozirconation of 1-alkynyl pinacolboronates, 1, with HZrCp(2)Cl provides gem-borazirconocenes 2. The latter when treated with CuBr gives the homocoupled (1E,3E)-2,3-dibora-1,3-butadienes, 3, in good yield (62-67%). The reaction works even for hindered 2 (R = t-Bu). Structure 3 was assigned on the basis of NMR. Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 3a (R = n-Bu) with PhI in the presence of CsF leads to the replacement of both boron groups by phenyl and hydrogen to give 6 in 76% yield. Zirconocene-mediated coupling of 1 leads to diastereomeric products: (1E,3E)-1,3-dibora-1,3-butadienes, 4, in 7-26% isolated yields and (1E,3E)-1,4-dibora-1,3-butadienes, 5, in 17-34% isolated yields. The two isomers can be separated by selective precipitation of 5 from the reaction mixture in pentane (-20 degrees C) followed by silica gel chromatography to give pure 4. The reaction does not work when R in 1 is the t-Bu group. Assignments of structures for 4 and 5 were done on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments. In addition, a single-crystal X-ray analysis of 5a showed it to be a highly planar and linearly oriented molecule. Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 4a proceeded to replace the terminal boron group exclusively, while the internal boron group of 4a remained intact.
