A new asymmetric catalytic propargyl- and allylboration of hydrazonoesters is reported. The reactions utilize allenyl- and allylboronic acids in the presence of the inexpensive parent BINOL catalyst. The reactions can be performed under mild conditions (0 °C) without any metal catalyst or other additives affording sterically encumbered chiral α-amino acids. This is the first metal-free method for the asymmetric propargyl- and allylboration of hydrazonoesters.

Bi(cyclopentyl)diol-Derived Boronates in Highly Enantioselective Chiral Phosphoric Acid-Catalyzed Allylation, Propargylation, and Crotylation of Aldehydes.

In this study, we disclose the catalytic addition of bi(cyclopentyl)diol-derived boronates to aldehydes promoted by chiral phosphoric acids, allowing for the formation of enantioenriched homoallylic, propargylic, and crotylic alcohols (up to >99% enantiomeric excess (ee), diastereomeric ratio (dr) >20:1). These boronate substrates provided superior enantioselectivities, allowing for the reactions to proceed with low catalyst loading (0.5-5 mol %) and reduced reaction time (15 min at room temperature for aldehyde allylboration).

Sixteen isostructural phosphonate metal-organic frameworks with controlled Lewis acidity and chemical stability for asymmetric catalysis.

Heterogeneous catalysts typically lack the specific steric control and rational electronic tuning required for precise asymmetric catalysis. Here we demonstrate that a phosphonate metal-organic framework (MOF) platform that is robust enough to accommodate up to 16 different metal clusters, allowing for systematic tuning of Lewis acidity, catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. A total of 16 chiral porous MOFs, with the framework formula [M L (solvent)] that have the same channel structures but different surface-isolated Lewis acid metal sites, are prepared from a single phosphono-carboxylate ligand of 1,1'-biphenol and 16 different metal ions.

The reactions of 1-silyl-3-boryl-2-alkenes with various electrophilic reagents (Selectfluor, N-halosuccinimides, benzhydryl, and propargylic alcohols in the presence of a Lewis acid, N-alkoxycarbonyliminium ion) have been investigated as new routes to α-substituted allylboronates. Further functional transformations, including allylboration, Suzuki coupling, protodeboronation, and cycloisomerization, have been carried out to illustrate the synthetic potential of these γ-borylallylsilanes.

The chiral BINOL-phosphoric acid catalyzed allylboration and propargylation reactions are studied with density functional theory (B3LYP and B3LYP-D3). Two different models were recently proposed for these reactions by Goodman and our group, respectively. In Goodman's model for allylborations, the catalyst interacts with the boronate pseudoaxial oxygen.
