Palladium-catalyzed C-H alkylation reaction with alkylboronic acids has successfully been developed using a removable pyridyldiisopropylsilyl directing group. The amino acid played a crucial role as a ligand in the reaction. The alkylation protocol is also applicable to the coupling of C(sp(3))-H bonds with alkylboronic acids.

Nickel/photoredox dual catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides with alkylboron compounds is one of the effective methodologies for the construction of C(sp)-C(sp) bonds. Although elegant results have been achieved by using alkyl trifluoroborates as alkyl radical precursors, the generation of alkyl radicals from readily available alkyl boronic esters is still limited due to their high oxidation potential. We disclosed here that activation of alkyl boronic esters by MeOLi is highly efficient for the generation of alkyl radicals under photocatalysis conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • * It highlights the effectiveness of gold nanoparticles on Lewis acidic metal oxides, like α-FeO, in catalyzing the conversion of dialkyl ethers and diborons at around room temperature, yielding high amounts of alkylboronates.
  • * Mechanistic studies show that the reaction occurs at the interface between the nanoparticles and metal oxides, where strong Lewis acid sites are formed, illustrating a novel technology for sustainably synthesizing valuable organoboron compounds.

The reactions of cyclic α,β-unsaturated -tosylhydrazones and alkylboronic acids promoted by 370-390 nm light in the presence of a base give rise to allylic boronic acids that can be trapped as the corresponding pinacolboronates by treatment with pinacol. This reaction features wide scope regarding both coupling partners and functional group tolerance, allowing for the incorporation of a variety of natural product-derived fragments. The allylic boronic acids can be also reacted in a one-pot process with aldehydes, to produce homoallylic alcohols with very high diastereoselectivity.

Asymmetric decarboxylative cross-couplings of carboxylic acids are powerful methods for synthesizing chiral building blocks essential in medicinal chemistry and material science. Despite their potential, creating versatile chiral alkylboron derivatives through asymmetric decarboxylative C(sp)-C(sp) cross-coupling from readily available primary aliphatic acids and mild organometallic reagents remains challenging. In this study, we present a visible light-induced Ni-catalyzed enantioconvergent C(sp)-C(sp) cross-coupling of unactivated primary aliphatic acid NHPI esters with -borazirconocene alkanes, producing a diverse array of valuable chiral alkylboron building blocks.
