Abstract
Multifunctionalization of easily accessible feedstocks namely alkenes and alkynes to synthesize polyboronate compounds represents an extremely useful process in organic synthesis. Herein, we disclose a method to access synthetically versatile alkyl 1,2-bis(boronates) and 1,1,2-tris(boronates) via metal- and base-free diboration and triboration of alkenes and alkynes, respectively, with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as the boron reagent, aided by water, which is yet unknown. This strategy's practicality and industrial importance are demonstrated by avoiding the use of stoichiometric amounts of base and its operational simplicity. This protocol demonstrates broad substrate scope and good functional-group tolerance on alkenes and alkynes. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal the formation of tetrahydroxydiboron as an active boron reagent for these C–B bond formation reactions. The most striking feature of this procedure is the synthesis of multiboronate compounds without using any organic solvents and facile extractive workup.
期刊介绍:
Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
