Published: March 2022

A novel tetrahydroxydiboron and nickel chloride cocatalyzed radical cyclization cascade with a broad substrate scope and an ultrashort reaction time was developed. The mechanistic investigation indicated that the reaction might involve a homocleavage of tetrahydroxydiboron and nickel hydride intermediates. This approach enables the simple and efficient synthesis of a series of heteropolycycles.

The proton of alcohols as the sole hydrogen source in diboron-mediated nickel-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of cyclic -sulfonyl imines has been developed, providing the chiral cyclic sulfamidates in excellent enantioselectivities. The mechanistic investigations suggested that the proton of alcohols could be activated by tetrahydroxydiboron to form active nickel hydride species.

Herein we report a hydrogen-bonding controlled nickel-catalyzed regioselective cyclotrimerization of terminal alkynes in moderate to excellent yields with high regioselectivities toward 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzenes. This method features a cheap catalyst, mild reaction conditions, and excellent functional group compatibility. The Ni-B(OH) complex generated from NiCl·DME and tetrahydroxydiboron might act as an active catalyst.

Arylboronic acids are gaining increased importance as reagents and target structures in a variety of useful applications. Recently, the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of arylboronic acids employing the atom-economical tetrahydroxydiboron (BBA) reagent has been reported. The high cost associated with palladium, combined with several limitations of both palladium- and copper-catalyzed processes, prompted us to develop an alternative method.
