A novel protocol for the synthesis of monoprotected resorcinol -methyliminodiacetate (MIDA) boronates was developed via the chemoselective deprotection of diprotected resorcinol MIDA derivatives with identical protecting groups, utilizing the MIDA boronate moiety as a blocking group for deprotection. This protocol exhibited a broad substrate scope, and the resulting MIDA boronates were readily isolated by simple filtration from the reaction mixture. Furthermore, the utility of this protocol was demonstrated by converting the resulting MIDA boronates into value-added chemicals containing resorcinol scaffolds.

Developing a general, highly efficient, and enantioselective catalytic method for the synthesis of chiral alcohols is still a formidable challenge. We report in this article the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of -methyliminodiacetyl (MIDA) acylboronates as a general substrate-independent entry to enantioenriched secondary alcohols. ATH of acyl-MIDA-boronates with (het)aryl, alkyl, alkynyl, alkenyl, and carbonyl substituents delivers a variety of enantioenriched α-boryl alcohols.

Article Synopsis
  • Vinylidene rearrangement of alkynes is a powerful method for transforming alkynes, but the application of borylalkynes in this process has not been extensively studied.
  • This research explores the rearrangement of internal borylalkynes using a cationic ruthenium complex, highlighting that the reaction is effective for both tri- and tetracoordinate boryl groups, with reaction rates significantly influenced by the Lewis acidity of the boryl group.
  • The study found that the rearrangement involves 1,2-boryl migration and showed that tricoordinate boryl groups migrate via an electrophilic process, contrasting with previous methods involving vinylidene rearrangements of internal alkyn

The discovery of a new class of heteroatom-rich boron-containing molecules (BCMs) and iterative cross-coupling (ICC) partners created a toolbox for future drug developments using organoboron compounds. Herein, we report the potential utility of 1,3-enyne MIDA boronates to access diverse -difluoro MIDA boronates novel 1,2-alkyne shift. This unique reactivity of 1,3-enyne MIDA boronates offers facile access to previously challenging β-difluorinated alkyl borons.

NHC-Au-Catalyzed Isomerization of Propargylic B(MIDA)s to Allenes and Double Isomerization of Alkynes to 1,3-Dienes.

The synthesis of allenyl boronates is an important yet challenging topic in organic synthesis. Reported herein is an NHC-gold-catalyzed 1,3-H shift toward allenyl boronates synthesis from simple propargylic B(MIDA)s. Mechanistic studies suggest dual roles of the boryl moiety in the reaction: to activate the substrate for isomerization and at the same time, to prevent the allene product from further isomerization.
