Stoichiometric reductions of alkyl-substituted ketones and aldehydes to borinic esters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of alkyl-substituted ketones are shown to activate hydrogen in the presence of B(C6F5)3, affording the corresponding borinic esters RR'CHOB(C6F5)2. The mechanism is shown to proceed via H2 activation, hydride delivery and protonation of a C6F5 group. The aliphatic aldehyde Et2CHCHO reacts with B(C6F5)3 or BPh3 to give boron enolates Et2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH(OBAr2) (Ar = C6F5, Ph). These latter species are amenable to FLP-catalyzed reduction to the corresponding borinic esters.

Selective reductions with complex hydride reducing agents
This paper describes the selective reductions with thioborane derivatives, zinc—modified cyanoborohydride, and the ate complex from diisobutylaluminum hydride and n-butyllithium. Reaction of carboxylic acids with 1,3,2-dithiaborinane in the presence of stannous chloride or boron trifluoride etherate in tetrahydrofuran gives 1,3-dithianes in high yields. The reaction of acids with thexylphenylth...
متن کاملBenzoyl radicals from (hetero)aromatic aldehydes. Decatungstate photocatalyzed synthesis of substituted aromatic ketones.
Benzoyl radicals are generated directly from (hetero)aromatic aldehydes upon tetrabutylammonium decatungstate ((n-Bu(4)N)(4)W(10)O(32)), TBADT) photocatalysis under mild conditions. In the presence of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, ketones and nitriles radical conjugate addition ensues and gives the corresponding beta-functionalized aryl alkyl ketones in moderate to good yields (stereoselective...
متن کاملIndium(III) Chloride-Promoted Rearrangement of Epoxides: A Selective Synthesis of Substituted Benzylic Aldehydes and Ketones
A simple and efficient procedure for the rearrangement of substituted epoxides catalyzed by InCl3 has been developed. Aryl-substituted epoxides isomerize with complete regioselectivity to form a single carbonyl compound via cleavage of the benzylic C-O bond. The reactions are simple, fast, and high yielding. This procedure is very mild compared to those catalyzed with BF3 and other Lewis acids ...
متن کاملSemi-catalytic reduction of secondary amides to imines and aldehydes.
Secondary amides can be reduced by silane HSiMe2Ph into imines and aldehydes by a two-stage process involving prior conversion of amides into iminoyl chlorides followed by catalytic reduction mediated by the ruthenium complex [Cp(i-Pr3P)Ru(NCCH3)2]PF6 (1). Alkyl and aryl amides bearing halogen, ketone, and ester groups were converted with moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions t...
متن کاملHighly diastereoselective and enantiospecific allylation of ketones and imines using borinic esters: contiguous quaternary stereogenic centers.
3,3-Disubstituted allylic boronic esters are not sufficiently reactive to react with ketones and imines. However, they can be converted into the corresponding borinic esters by the sequential addition of nBuLi and TFAA. These reactive intermediates possess the perfect balance between reactivity and configurational stability. Their enhanced reactivity allows the highly selective allylation of bo...
