Copper-Catalyzed ipso-Borylation of Fluoroarenes

Influence of Phosphoramidites in Copper-Catalyzed Conjugate Borylation Reaction

Copper(I) has become the preferred metal to catalyze the β-boration of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, and now we demonstrate that easily accessible monodentate chiral ligands, such as phosphoramidites and phosphites, can be convenient alternative ligands to induce asymmetry in the enantioselective version of this reaction, particularly in the βboration of α,β-unsaturated imines. ■ INTRODUC...

Copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative borylation of terminal alkynes with pinacolborane.

LCuOTf complexes [L = cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs) or N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs)] selectively promote the dehydrogenative borylation of C(sp)-H bonds at room temperature. It is shown that σ,π-bis(copper) acetylide and copper hydride complexes are the key catalytic species.

Functionalization of Styrenes by Copper-Catalyzed Borylation/ ortho-Cyanation and Silver-Catalyzed Annulation Processes.

An efficient two-step method for the assembly of indanone derivatives starting from a simple vinyl arene has been developed. The sequence first involves addition of bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2 pin2 ) and N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide (NCTS) to a broad range of styrenes by utilizing IMesCuCl as catalyst. This step simultaneously accomplishes hydroboration of the alkene and ortho cya...

Copper‐Catalyzed Borylation of Cyclic Sulfamidates: Access to Enantiomerically Pure (β‐and γ‐Amino­alkyl)boronic Esters

Regio- and stereoselective copper-catalyzed β-borylation of allenoates by a preactivated diboron.

A mild and efficient copper-catalyzed borylation of electron deficient allenoates using an sp(2)-sp(3) mixed hybridized diboron regioselectively installs a boron moiety on the β-position with exclusive (Z)-double bond geometry.
