Boryl Radical Mediated Hydro(gem-diboryl)alkylation of Alkenes with Sterically Hindered NHC Boranes
NHC boryl radical mediated halogen atom transfer (XAT) is useful in organic synthesis. Yet, most of the reaction ends only with reducing the halogen to hydrogen, that is, the C–X to C–H. This is especially dominant for electron-deficient alkyl halides, where the formed electrophilic radical reacts rapidly with NHC boranes. Herein, by employing a sterically hindered NHC borane as the boryl radical precursor (IPr·BH3), we were able to use the electrophilic-deficient alkyl halide (α-Iodide gem-di(B(pin))methane) in the C–C bond formation reaction. Mono-, disubstituted styrene, aliphatic alkenes, and heteroatom-substituted alkenes were used as reaction partners. Forty hydro(gem-diboryl)methylation products were obtained at room temperature in moderate to good yields. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction mainly involved the radical process.
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.
