Copper-Catalyzed Diboration of Ketones: Facile Synthesis of Tertiary α-Hydroxyboronate Esters

Abstract: The diboration of ketones with the (ICy)CuOt-Bu catalyst was developed to provide access to tertiary alpha-hydroxyboronate esters. The (ICy)CuOt-Bu catalyst was generated in situ with (ICy)CuCl and NaOt-Bu to afford a more efficient catalyst than the preformed (ICy)CuOt-Bu. These conditions result in the diboration of various ketones in toluene at 50 degrees C in 2-22 h. Treatment of the resulting products with silica gel affords the corresponding alpha-hydroxyboronate esters.

“…The protocol for the previously reported diboration of aldehydes 17 and ketones 18 did not involve the addition of methanol. In the absence of methanol, intermediate 3c (Scheme 2) undergoes transmetalation with a molecule of bis(pinacolato)diboron in the rate determining step to generate the desired dibora compound 3d and regenerate the active catalyst 3a .…”

“…Forall cases we observed high yields and nearly perfect diastereo-and enantioselectivities.R emarkably,t he conditions are compatible with the presence of an unprotected ketone (compound 2i)t hat could also react under copper-catalyzed borylation conditions. [13] Diastereomeric cyclobutenes 1j and 1k afforded the desired boronic esters 2j and 2k with similar levels of stereocontrol. Additionally,t he presence of at ertiary stereocenter (compound 2l)a ffected neither the diastereo-nor enantioselectivity.I n these last three examples (2j-2l), enantiomerically enriched compounds with four stereocenters were obtained in asingle step starting from meso precursors (1j-1l).…”

“…[6,7] This reaction is widely applicable to substrates such as alkynes [8,9] arynes, [10] alkenes, [11][12][13] carbenoids, [14,15] as well as diazo [16] and carbonyl compounds. [17][18][19][20] Although bis(catecholato)diborane(4) and bis(pinacolato)diborane(4) represent by far the most commonly employed diborane(4) species, the reaction is not restricted to their use. For instance, several diboranes(4) with interesting properties are derived from [2]borametalloarenophanes.…”
