General Information. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectra (NMR) were acquired on a Varian UNITY INOVA (400 MHz) instrument using CDCl 3 as internal standard and Varian Gemini 2000 (200 MHz) instrument using CDCl 3 as internal standard. Chemical shifts are given in ppm, coupling constants (J) are given in hertz (Hz). IR spectra were recorded on a Nicolet Avatar 320 FT-IR spectrophotometer and are reported in wavenumbers (cm-1). Mass spectra were recorded on a PE Sciex API 2000 triplequadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with a Turbo Ion Spray source and Waters Quattro Micro triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Manchester, UK). For column chromatography, Merck Silica gel 60 was employed. Enantiomer ratios were determined by a chiral HPLC analysis on a Waters 600 with Waters 996 Photodiode Array Detector using Chiracel OD or OJ column (0.46×25 cm). The product purity was also determined by GC analysis using Agilent 6850 with HP-5 column (30 m×0.25 mm×0.25 µm). Elemental analyses were performed on the Vario EL III. For product sublimation Büchi Glass Oven B-585 was used. Materials.

New Direct 11 B NMR-Based Analysis of Organoboranes through Their Potassium Borohydrides

The Journal of Organic Chemistry

Representative organoborane mixtures were quantitatively converted to their borohydrides through their reaction with activated KH (KH*), permitting their detailed analysis by 11 B NMR. Through the treatment of commercial KH with a THF solution of lithium aluminum hydride (LAH), a dramatic change in the surface morphology results as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) was employed to reveal that the LAH treatment deposits a significant amount of an unknown aluminum-containing species on the surface of the KH, which imparts a unique reactivity to the KH*. Even highly hindered organoboranes are quantitatively converted to their borohydrides by replacing electronegative groups (e.g., OR, halogen) with hydrogen, retaining only the carbon ligation. Through this simple KH* treatment, complex organoborane reaction mixtures are converted to the corresponding borohydrides whose 11 B NMR spectra normally exhibit resolved signals for the individual species present. The integration of these signals provides quantitative information on the relative amounts of each component of the mixture. New generalities for the effect of R- ,-, and γ-substituents have also been determined that provide a new, simple technique for the determination of the isomeric distribution in organoborane mixtures resulting from common organoborane processes (e.g., hydroboration). Moreover, the 1 H-coupled 11 B NMR spectra of these mixtures reveal the extent of alkylation for each species present. Representative organoboranes were examined by this new technique permitting a simple and convenient quantitative analysis of the regio-and diastereomeric composition of a variety of asymmetric organoborane processes. Previously unknown details of pinene-based hydroborations and reductions are revealed for the first time employing the KH* 11 B NMR technique. The widespread use of organoboranes in chemical synthesis provides a clear need for the development of new, more convenient analytical methods for assessing the composition of the intermediates formed in a wide variety of organoborane processes. 1,2 Commonly, 11 B NMR is employed to determine the extent of alkylation, 1,2,4 but the isomeric composition of the organoboranes cannot be directly assessed because of the broad overlapping signals observed. On occasion, organoborane derivatives can be prepared and analyzed by NMR 2,5,6 or by chromatogra-* To whom correspondence should be addressed.

Synthesis of vinyl nonaflates derived from β-ketoesters, β-diketones or α-diketones and their palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with organozinc halides

Tetrahedron, 1999

Cyclic and acyclic ~-ketoesters 4, a typical cyclic ct-diketone 5 and a typical cyclic [~-diketone 6 were converted to the corresponding vinyl nonaflates of general formula 7, 8 and 9, respectively, by reaction with 1.2-1.5 equiv of Nail in DMF at 20-55 °C followed by treatment with 1.15-1.30 equiv of perfluoro-l-butanesulfonyl fluoride at 20 °C. These vinyl nonaflates, which were purified by MPLC on silica gel, proved to be excellent electrophiles in Pal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with aryl-, l-alkynyl-and alkylzinc chlorides. A variety of cyclic and acyclic tetrasubstituted c~,l~-unsaturated esters which included stereoisomerically pure compounds, a 2substituted 3-aryi-2-cyclopentenone and naturally-occurring dihydrojasmone were cleanly synthesized by these smooth and selective cross-coupling reactions.

A Practical and Stereoselective Organocatalytic Alkylation of Aldehydes with Benzodithiolylium Tetrafluoroborate

Chirality, 2014

Recently, the direct substitution of allylic, benzylic, and tertiary alcohols has been achieved via S N 1-type reactions with catalytic amounts of Brønsted or Lewis acids. When a new stereogenic center is formed most of these transformations produce the desired product as a racemate, as these reactions proceed through carbenium ions. The arsenal of activation modes available in organocatalysis can be used to set up suitable reaction conditions in which chiral nucleophiles (enamine catalysis) or chiral electrophiles (iminium catalysis, chiral counterion catalysis) can easily be generated. Recently, we have used stabilized carbenium ions, directly available or obtained from the corresponding alcohols, in new organocatalytic stereoselective S N 1-type reactions. The commercially available carbenium ion benzodithiolylium tetrafluoroborate 1 can be used for the straightforward organocatalytic stereoselective alkylation of aldehydes. In this account we will illustrate the application of this methodology in the total synthesis of natural products and the preparation of valuable starting materials. Chirality 26:607-613, 2014.

Die Anwendungen von fluorinierten Arylboronaten in der organischen Synthese

2020

Fluorinated compounds are an important motif, particularly in pharmaceuticals, as one-third of the top performing drugs have fluorine in their structures. Fluorinated biaryls also have numerous applications in areas such as material science, agriculture, crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, etc. Thus, the development of new synthetic routes to fluorinated chemical compounds is an important area of current research. One promising method is the borylation of suitable precursors to generate fluorinated aryl boronates as versatile building blocks for organic synthesis. Chapter 1 In this chapter, the latest developments in the synthesis, stability issues, and applications of fluorinated aryl boronates in organic synthesis are reviewed. The catalytic synthesis of fluorinated aryl boronates using different methods, such as C–H, C–F, and C–X (X = Cl, Br, I, OTf) borylations are discussed.
