New asymmetric syntheses with boronic esters and fluoroboranes*

چکیده
Efficient cleavage of sterically hindered boronic esters of asymmetric diols to recover both the diol and a more reactive borane derivative has been a challenging problem. A remarkable borosilicate glass-catalyzed cleavage with thionyl chloride and imidazole proved less useful than hoped for. Potassium bifluoride converts boronic esters to diols and alkyltrifluoroborates. These with chlorosilanes yield alkyldifluoroboranes, which with alkyl azides form secondary amines in high enantiopurity.

Protodeboronation of tertiary boronic esters: asymmetric synthesis of tertiary alkyl stereogenic centers.
While tertiary boranes undergo efficient protodeboronation with carboxylic acids, tertiary boronic esters do not. Instead, we have discovered that CsF with 1.1 equiv of H2O (on tertiary diarylalkyl boronic esters) or TBAF·3H2O (on tertiary aryldialkyl boronic esters) effect highly efficient protodeboronation of tertiary boronic esters with essentially complete retention of configuration. Furthe...
متن کاملAte complexes of secondary boronic esters as chiral organometallic-type nucleophiles for asymmetric synthesis.
The addition of an aryllithium reagent to a secondary boronic ester leads to an intermediate boron-ate complex that behaves as a chiral nucleophile, reacting with a broad range of electrophiles with inversion of stereochemistry. Depending on the electrophile, the C-B bond can be converted into C-I, C-Br, C-Cl, C-N, C-O, and C-C, all with very high levels of stereocontrol. This discovery now add...
متن کاملA convergent rhodium-catalysed asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines.
Rh-catalysed conjugate additions of 2-aminophenyl boronic acid derivatives were exploited in diastereoselective and asymmetric syntheses of tetrahydroquinolines. In both cases, combinatorial variation of the substitution of the tetrahydroquinoline ring system was possible.
متن کاملToward ideality: the synthesis of (+)-kalkitoxin and (+)-hydroxyphthioceranic acid by assembly-line synthesis.
The iterative homologation of boronic esters using chiral lithiated benzoate esters and chloromethyllithium has been applied to the highly efficient syntheses of two natural products, (+)-kalkitoxin and (+)-hydroxyphthioceranic acid. The chiral lithiated benzoate esters (>99% ee) were generated from the corresponding stannanes, which themselves were prepared by Hoppe-Beak deprotonation of ethyl...
متن کاملHighly enantioselective synthesis of tertiary boronic esters and their stereospecific conversion to other functional groups and quaternary stereocentres.
Organoboron compounds are useful in asymmetric synthesis. We have developed an efficient methodology for the highly enantioselective synthesis of tertiary boronic esters from the corresponding secondary benzylic alcohols. Further stereospecific transformations of the boronic ester moiety are described including the preparation of tertiary alcohols, C-tertiary amines and tertiary arylalkanes. Se...
