  • effect of ligand structure on the electron density and activity of iridium catalysts for the Borylation of alkanes
    ACS Catalysis, 2020
    Co-Authors: Matthew A Larsen, Raphael J Oeschger, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    An in-depth study of iridium catalysts for the Borylation of alkyl C–H bonds is reported. Although the Borylation of aryl C–H bonds can be catalyzed by iridium complexes containing phen or bpy liga...

  • Iridium-Catalyzed C–H Borylation of Cyclopropanes
    2016
    Co-Authors: Carl W. Liskey, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    The Borylation of cyclopropanes catalyzed by the combination of (η6-mes)­IrBpin3 or [Ir­(COD)­OMe]2 and a phenanthroline derivative is reported. The Borylation occurs selectively at the methylene C–H bonds of the cyclopropane ring over methine or methyl C–H bonds. High diasteroselectivities were observed from reactions catalyzed by the combination of iridium and 2,9-Me2phenanthroline. The cyclopropylboronate esters that are generated are versatile synthetic intermediates that can be converted to trifluoroborate salts, boronic acids, cyclopropylarenes, cyclopropylamines, and cyclopropanols

  • iridium catalyzed Borylation of primary benzylic c h bonds without a directing group scope mechanism and origins of selectivity
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2015
    Co-Authors: Matthew A Larsen, Conner V Wilson, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    Primary benzylic boronate esters are useful intermediates in organic synthesis, but these reagents cannot be prepared by hydroboration. The benzylic C–H Borylation of methylarenes would be a method to form these products, but such reactions without neat methylarene or a directing group are unknown. We report an approach to divert the Borylation of methylarenes from aromatic positions to benzylic positions with a silylborane as reagent and a new iridium catalyst containing an electron-deficient phenanthroline as ligand. This system forms benzylic boronate esters selectively over the corresponding aryl boronate esters. An Ir diboryl monosilyl complex ligated by the phenanthroline was isolated and determined to be the resting state of the catalyst. Mechanistic studies show that this complex is kinetically competent to be an intermediate in the catalytic process. Kinetic studies of benzylic and aryl C–H Borylation catalyzed by various Ir complexes show that the rate of aryl C–H Borylation decreases with decre...

  • regioselective Borylation of the c h bonds in alkylamines and alkyl ethers observation and origin of high reactivity of primary c h bonds beta to nitrogen and oxygen
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2014
    Co-Authors: Qian Li, Carl W. Liskey, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    Borylation of aliphatic C–H bonds in alkylamines and alkyl ethers to form primary aminoalkyl and alkoxyalkyl boronate esters and studies on the origin of the regioselectivity of these reactions are reported. The products of these reactions can be used directly in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions or isolated as air-stable potassium trifluoroborate salts. Selective Borylation of the terminal C–H bond at the positions β to oxygen and nitrogen occurs in preference to Borylation of the other terminal C–H bonds. Experimental studies and computational results show that C–H bond cleavage is the rate-determining step of the current Borylation reactions. The observed higher reactivity of C–H bonds at the terminal position of ethylamines and ethers results from a combination of attractive Lewis acid–base and hydrogen-bonding interactions, as well as typical repulsive steric interactions, in the transition state. In this transition state, the heteroatom lies directly above the boron atom of one boryl ligand, c...

  • iridium catalyzed c h Borylation of heteroarenes scope regioselectivity application to late stage functionalization and mechanism
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2014
    Co-Authors: Matthew A Larsen, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    A study on the iridium-catalyzed C–H Borylation of heteroarenes is reported. Several heteroarenes containing multiple heteroatoms were found to be amenable to C–H Borylation catalyzed by the combination of an iridium(I) precursor and tetramethylphenanthroline. The investigations of the scope of the reaction led to the development of powerful rules for predicting the regioselectivity of Borylation, foremost of which is that Borylation occurs distal to nitrogen atoms. One-pot functionalizations are reported of the heteroaryl boronate esters formed in situ, demonstrating the usefulness of the reported methodology for the synthesis of complex heteroaryl structures. Application of this methodology to the synthesis and late-stage functionalization of biologically active compounds is also demonstrated. Mechanistic studies show that basic heteroarenes can bind to the catalyst and alter the resting state from the olefin-bound complex observed during arene Borylation to a species containing a bound heteroarene, lea...
