AI Article Synopsis

  • The text discusses a method for exchanging boryl groups between alkenylboranes and diboron reagents, suggesting this process occurs via a stereospecific cross-metathesis pathway.
  • This exchange results in the formation of mixed diboron reagents, which are essential for various chemical reactions.
  • Using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, a mechanism for achieving stereocontrol in this cross-metathesis involving both symmetric and asymmetric diboron reagents is proposed.

Article Abstract

Exchange of boryl moieties between alkenylboranes and diboron reagents has been postulated as a stereospecific cross-metathesis pathway with concomitant formation of mixed diboron reagents. DFT calculations propose a mechanism for the stereocontrolled C(sp)-B/B'-B' cross-metathesis with both symmetric and non-symmetric diboron reagents.

Allylic diboronates are highly valuable reagents in organic synthesis. Existing methods predominantly yield alkyl-substituted allylic diboronates, while the incorporation of electrophilic carbonyl groups conjugated to these allylic systems remains unknown. We present a strain-release promoted cycloaddition-based strategy that enabled access to unprecedented carbonyl conjugated secondary allylic diborons.

Catalyst-Free Diborylation and Silaboration of Azoarenes: A Simple Photoinduced Approach.

The diborylation of the N=N double bond of azoarenes has been achieved using a commercially available diboron reagent, Bcat [bis(catecholato)diboron]. By utilizing the photo-switchable nature of azoarenes under blue-LED light irradiation, an uncatalyzed diborylation and silaboration yielded a broad range of functionalized hydrazine derivatives. The mechanistic origin validates the importance of cis configuration, which is corroborated by theoretical calculations.

Lonicerae japonicae flos (LJF) and Lonicerae flos (LF) are traditional Chinese herbs that are commonly used and widely known for their medicinal properties and edibility. Although they may have a similar appearance and vary slightly in chemical composition, their effectiveness as medicine and their use in clinical settings vary significantly, making them unsuitable for substitution. In this study, a novel 2 × 3 six-channel fluorescent sensor array is proposed that uses machine learning algorithms in combination with the indicator displacement assay (IDA) method to quickly identify LJF and LF.

While azides do not react with simple alkenes except under harsh conditions, a diboron alkene analogue, the doubly cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene (CAAC)-stabilized dicyanodiborene 1, reacts spontaneously with organic azides (7-10 equiv.) at room temperature to yield two equivalents of stable CAAC-imino(cyano)boranes (2-R). NMR-spectroscopic monitoring of the reaction mixtures shows the initial formation of a 1 : 1 mixture of 2-R and a relatively long-lived intermediate (Int), which in the presence of excess azide is converted into a second equivalent of 2-R.
