A Mn-catalyzed hydroboration of terminal alkenes and a 1,2-diboration of terminal alkynes with pinacolborane (HBPin) is described. For alkenes, anti-Markovnikov hydroboration takes place; for alkynes the reaction proceeds with excellent trans-1,2-selectivity. The most active pre-catalyst is bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn complex fac-[Mn(dippe)(CO)(CHCHCH)]. The catalytic process is initiated by migratory insertion of a CO ligand into the Mn-alkyl bond to yield an acyl intermediate, which undergoes B-H bond cleavage of HBPin (for alkenes) and rapid C-H bond cleavage (for alkynes), forming the active Mn boryl and acetylide catalysts [Mn(dippe)(CO)(BPin)] and [Mn(dippe)(CO)(C≡CR)], respectively. A broad variety of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes and alkynes was efficiently and selectively borylated. Mechanistic insights are provided based on experimental data and DFT calculations revealing that an acceptorless reaction is operating involving dihydrogen release.

The development of a metallic copper-based catalyst system remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of highly stable, active, and reusable Cu0 catalyst for the carboboration of alkynes using carbon electrophiles and bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as chemical feedstocks to afford di- and trisubstituted vinylboronate esters in a regio- and stereoselective manner with appreciable turnover number (TON) of up to 2535 under mild reaction conditions. This three-component coupling reaction works well with a variety of substituted electrophiles and alkynes with broad functional group tolerance.

Although the radical hydroboration of alkenes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) borane is well documented, the radical hydroboration of alkynes, especially terminal alkynes, remains challenging. Herein, a photoredox-catalyzed radical -hydroboration of alkynes with NHC borane has been developed, which provided various alkenyl boron compounds in moderate to good yields. This protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope, as both internal and terminal alkynes were compatible.

Hydroboration of allenes is powerful and atom-economic approach to the synthesis of organoboranes, such as the highly versatile allylboranes. However, regarding regiocontrol, existing methods uniformly deliver the boron functionality to the less hindered β- or γ-position, but not the α-position. The latter is particularly challenging for allenes with substantial steric difference between the two terminals and lacking electronic bias (e.

This manuscript describes the synthesis of Os complexes supported by the diarylamido/bis(phosphine) PNP pincer ligand. Compound (PNP)OsH(CO) () was prepared by analogy with the previously reported . However, attempts to make (PNP)OsH () analogously to resulted in the formation of an unexpected compound () that is a product of addition of a BH unit across the Os-N bond in .

In this article, the synthesis of bis(phosphine), -PhPCHC(O)N(H)CHCHPPh- (1) (hereafter referred to as "PNHP" and its anionic form as "PNP") and its group 10 metal chemistry and catalytic studies are described. PNHP (1) on reaction with NiCl(DME) and PdCl(COD) afforded pincer complexes, [MCl{(PNP)κ-,,}] (M = Ni, 2; Pd, 3). A similar reaction of 1 with PtCl(COD) yielded a chelate complex, [PtCl{(PNHP)κ-,}] (4), which on further treatment with LiHMDS produced the 1,2-azaphospholene-phosphine complex, [PtCl(Ph){(-P(Ph)CHCONCHCHPPh-)κ-,}] (5) P-C/P-N bond metathesis.
