1-Heteroaromatic-Substituted Tetraphenylboroles: π–π Interactions Between Aromatic and Antiaromatic Rings Through a B–C Bond
摘要:
A series of 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylboroles substituted with different aromatic heterocycles (thiophene, furan, pyrrole, and dithiophene) in the 1-position were synthesized and characterized by means of NMR, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. In contrast to known 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylboroles, X-ray diffraction revealed a nearly coplanar arrangement of the aromatic heterocycles and the antiaromatic borole scaffold as a result of pi-conjugation, which could be substantiated by DFT calculations. Furthermore, the 2,2'-dithiophene-bridged bisborole (14) exhibits a large bathochromic shift in the absorption spectrum, demonstrating the exceptional Lewis acidity of the nonannulated borolyl moiety.
NHC‐supported 1,2‐dithienyldiborenes was synthesized from the corresponding (dihalo)thienylborane NHC precursors. NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopic data, as well as X‐ray crystallographic analyses, were used to assess the electronic and steric influences on the B=B double bond of various NHCs and electron‐donating substituents on the thienyl ligands. Crystallographicdata showed that the degree of coplanarity of the
Sterically hindered, in situ generated 1,3,4-substituted 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene mesoionic carbenes (MICs) were employed to stabilize a number of aryl- and heteroaryldihaloboranes, as well as the first MIC-supported diborane. Reduction of borane adducts of the 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3-methyl-4-tert-butyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene ligand with KC8 in non-coordinating solvents led to intramolecular C-H-

The first examples of heteroarylboryl complexes were prepared and have been found to be unreactive toward a range of strong reductants, strong Lewis bases, and halide-abstraction reagents. The inertness of the complexes is attributed to strong p-conjugation between the p-basic heteroaryl groups and the p-acidic boron atom. This hypothesis is supported by comparison of the structural and spectroscopic properties of the heteroarylboryl complexes with analogous previously reported homoarylboryl complexes, with the former showing greater coplanarity of the aryl ring with the boron atom and much less facile reactivity.
