A novel iron-catalyzed borylation of propargylic acetates leading to allenylboronates has been developed. The method allows the preparation of a variety of di-, tri- and tetrasubstituted allenylboronates at room temperature with good functional group compatibility. Stereochemical studies show that an anti-S 2' displacement of acetate by boron occurs; this also allows transfer of chirality to yield enantiomerically enriched allenylboronates. The synthetic utility of this protocol was further substantiated by transformations of the obtained allenylboronates including oxidation and propargylation.

Simple aryl chlorides represent challenging substrates in iron-catalyzed borylation. A combination of Li[B(Bu)pin-Bpin] as the borylating reagent and a catalyst formed in situ from iron(II) triflate and the commercially available N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, IMes, gives significantly improved activity and a much broader scope than previously reported iron-based catalysts. Iron triflate is also a good precatalyst for the borylation of aryl triflates─a previously unreported transformation─and in these cases the IMes ligand is not required.

The synthesis and application of aryl-substituted pyridine(diimine) iron complexes (PDI)FeCH to the catalytic borylation of heteroarenes under thermal conditions is described. Improvements in catalyst design and performance were guided by precatalyst activation studies, where investigations into stoichiometric reactivities of iron borohydride (4- Bu- PDI)Fe(HBPin) and iron furyl (4- Bu- PDI)Fe(2-methylfuryl) complexes revealed facile C(sp)-H activation and a slower and potentially turnover-limiting C(sp)-B formation step. Formation of the flyover dimer, [(4- Bu- PDI)Fe] was identified as a catalyst deactivation pathway and formally iron(0) complexes were found to be inactive for borylation.

Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) processes can overcome the strong bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of inert C(sp)-H bonds and thereby convert feedstock alkanes into value-added fine chemicals. Nevertheless, the high reactivity of HAT reagents, coupled with the small differences among various C(sp)-H bond strengths, renders site-selective transformations of straight-chain alkanes a great challenge. Here, we present a photocatalytic intermolecular radical sampling process for the iron-catalyzed borylation of terminal C(sp)-H bonds in substrates with small steric hindrance, including unbranched alkanes.

Despite recent interest in the development of iron-catalyzed transformations, methods that use iron-based catalysts capable of controlling the enantioselectivity in carbon-carbon cross-couplings are underdeveloped. Herein, we report a practical and simple protocol that uses commercially available and expensive iron salts in combination with chiral bisphosphine ligands to enable the regio- and enantioselective (up to 91:9) multicomponent cross-coupling of vinyl boronates, (fluoro)alkyl halides, and Grignard reagents. Preliminary mechanistic studies are consistent with rapid formation of an α-boryl radical followed by radical addition to monoaryl bisphosphine-Fe(II) and subsequent enantioselective inner-sphere reductive elimination.

Catalytic C(sp)-H functionalization has provided enormous opportunities to construct organic molecules, facilitating the derivatization of complex pharmaceutical compounds. Within this framework, direct hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalysis becomes an appealing approach to this goal. However, the viable substrates utilized in these protocols are limited, and the site selectivity shows preference to activated and thermodynamically favored C(sp)-H bonds.
