Abstract
A cobalt-catalyzed, chemodivergent deoxygenative polyborylation strategy for silyl enol ethers has been developed, enabling selective synthesis of 1,1,1-triborylalkanes, 1,1,3-triborylalkanes, 1,1-diborylalkenes, and 1,1-diborylalkanes. Specifically, deoxygenative borylation with B2pin2 affords 1,1,1-triborylalkanes, 1,1,3-triborylalkanes, and 1,1-diborylalkenes, while the use of HBpin favors 1,1-diborylalkane formation. This protocol offers mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and high functional group tolerance. The utility and practicality of this method were demonstrated through gram-scale reactions and various product transformations. Mechanistic investigations revealed that all processes are initiated via the cobalt-catalyzed dehydrogenative and deoxygenative borylation of silyl enol ethers.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
