A method for the arylboration of 1-arylalkenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron and aryl chlorides or tosylates by cooperative Ni/Cu catalysis has been developed, which affords 2-boryl-1,1-diarylalkanes in high regio- and stereoselectivity. Under the applied conditions, this method is tolerant toward various functional groups, including silyl ether, alkoxycarbonyl, and aminocarbonyl moieties.
A versatile method for the arylboration of internal alkynes with aryl chlorides or bromides and bis(pinacolato)diboron has been developed. This method tolerates various functional groups, including acetyl, methoxycarbonyl, cyano, and fluoro substituents, and affords a range of tri-substituted vinylboronates, which are highly useful intermediates for the synthesis of tetra-substituted ethenes, in high yield and regioselectivity.
The Ni/Cu‐catalyzed reaction of 1‐arylalkenes with aryl chlorides and bis(pinacolato)diboron proceeds readily to afford 2‐boryl‐1,1‐diarylalkanes (IVa‐i), whilst the analogous reaction with 1‐octene fails.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
