An efficient Cu-catalyzed C-H alkenylation with acyclic and cyclic vinyl boronates was realized for the first time under mild conditions. The scope of the vinyl borons and the compatibility with functional groups including heterocycles are superior than Pd-catalyzed C-H coupling with vinyl borons, providing a reliable access to multisubstituted alkenes and dienes. Subsequent hydrogenation of the product from the internal vinyl borons will lead to installation of secondary alkyls.

An isoreticular metal-organic framework (MOF) series was constructed from nickel or cobalt nodes, phosphonate monoester, and bipyridine linkers. The cobalt-containing MOFs were found to catalyze the dehydrogenative C-H borylation of alkenes under mild conditions. This process selectively generates vinyl boronate without the formation of alkyl boronate byproducts and is insensitive to air, enabling large-scale preparation of the target products with isolated yields of over 80%.

Transition-Metal-Free Thioboration of Terminal Alkynes.

JACS Au

December 2024

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan.

We present a new type of elementoboration reaction, the thioboration of terminal alkynes. This method enables highly controllable regio-/stereo-/chemoselective - and -thioboration on demand, affording synthetically versatile and densely functionalized vinyl boron/vinyl sulfide derivatives in a straightforward manner without the need for a transition-metal catalyst.

Injectable bioresponsive bone adhesive hydrogels inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome on demand to accelerate diabetic fracture healing.

Diabetes is associated with excessive inflammation, which negatively impacts the fracture healing process and delays bone repair. Previously, growing evidence indicated that activation of the nod-like receptor (NLR) family, such as nod-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome induces a vicious cycle of chronic low-grade inflammatory responses in diabetic fracture. Here, we describe the synthesis of a bone adhesive hydrogel that can be locally injected into the fracture site and releases a natural inhibitor of NLRP3 (rutin) in response to pathological cue reactive oxygen species activity (ROS).

Highly energetic boron (B) particles embedded in hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) thermosetting polymers represent stable solid-state fuel. Laser-heating of levitated B/HTPB and pure HTPB particles in a controlled atmosphere revealed spontaneous ignition of B/HTPB in air, allowing for examination of the exclusive roles of boron. These ignition events are probed via simultaneous spectroscopic diagnostics: Raman and infrared spectroscopy, temporally resolved high-speed optical and infrared cameras, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy.

Cu-Zeolite Catalysis for Biaryl Synthesis via Homocoupling Reactions of Phenols or Aryl Boronic Acids.

Molecules

November 2024

Catalyse Organométallique, Synthèse Organique et Santé (COSyS), Institut de Chimie (UMR-CNRS 7177), Université de Strasbourg, 67000 Strasbourg, France.

Due to the importance of biaryls as natural products, drugs, agrochemicals, dyes, or organic electronic materials, a green alternative biaryl synthesis has been developed based on easy-to-prepare and cheap copper(I)-exchanged zeolite catalysts. Cu-USY proved to efficiently catalyze the direct homocoupling of either phenols or aryl boronic acids under simple and practical conditions. The Cu-USY-catalyzed oxidative homocoupling of phenols could conveniently be performed under air either in warm methanol or water with good to high yields.
