Published: July 2022

Herein, the copper-catalyzed borylation of readily available acyl chlorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron, (B pin ) or bis(neopentane glycolato)diboron (B neop ) is reported, which provides stable potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) in good yields from the acylboronate esters. A variety of functional groups are tolerated under the mild reaction conditions (room temperature) and substrates containing different carbon-skeletons, such as aryl, heteroaryl and primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl are applicable. Acyl N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) boronates can also been accessed by modification of the workup procedures. This process is scalable and also amenable to the late-stage conversion of carboxylic acid-containing drugs into their acylboron analogues, which have been challenging to prepare previously. A catalytic mechanism is proposed based on in situ monitoring of the reaction between p-toluoyl chloride and an NHC-copper(I) boryl complex as well as the isolation of an unusual lithium acylBpinOBpin compound as a key intermediate.

We report here the first example of a copper-catalyzed transformation involving nitro allyl derivatives. This borylation reaction, which exploits the high versatility of the aforementioned precursor, tolerates a variety of functional groups and allows practical, scalable, and highly straightforward access to diversely substituted allylboronic esters in high yields. The method was also extended to allyl sulfones, which provides a very complementary approach, offering additional structural diversity along with improved stereoselectivities.

Compounds bearing both boryl and amino groups at distal positions are invaluable synthons for synthesizing pharmaceuticals, drug candidates, and natural products, but their catalytic enantioselective synthesis remains rarely explored. We report the first enantioselective 1,4-borylamination reaction through a copper-catalyzed cascade hydroborylation and hydroamination of arylidenecyclopropanes. This reaction combines four readily available components in a highly chemo-, site-, and enantioselective fashion (>20:1 r.

A reagent-controlled diastereodivergent copper-catalyzed borylative difunctionalization is reported. The formation of Lewis adducts that guide selectivity is commonly invoked in organic reaction mechanisms. Using density functional theory calculations, we identified BpinBdan as a sterically similar and less Lewis acidic alternative to Bpin.

Here, we report a general copper-catalyzed C(sp) carboboration of 1,3-diynes, providing access to an array of tetra-substituted boryl enynes in a regioselective manner. All four positions of enyne can be efficiently manipulated using this methodology. The reaction was smoothly applied in the conjugation of complex bioactive molecules to the enyne scaffold.
