The reaction proceeds with excellent selectivity for boron addition to the external carbon of the 1,3-diyne framework as unambiguously established by NMR and X-ray crystallographic studies. The reaction displays a broad substrate scope including unsymmetrical diynes to generate products in high yield (up to 95 \%). Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that phosphine attack on the alkyne is a key process in the catalytic cycle.}, language = {en} } @article{LiuMingZhangetal.2019, author = {Liu, Xiaocui and Ming, Wenbo and Zhang, Yixiao and Friedrich, Alexandra and Marder, Todd B.}, title = {Copper-Catalyzed Triboration: Straightforward, Atom-Economical Synthesis of 1,1,1-Triborylalkanes from Terminal Alkynes and HBpin}, series = {Angewandte Chemie International Edition}, volume = {58}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie International Edition}, number = {52}, doi = {10.1002/anie.201909376}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-206185}, pages = {18923-18927}, year = {2019}, abstract = {A convenient and efficient one-step synthesis of 1,1,1-triborylalkanes was achieved via sequential dehydrogenative borylation and double hydroborations of terminal alkynes with HBpin (HBpin=pinacolborane) catalyzed by inexpensive and readily available Cu(OAc)\(_2\). This process proceeds under mild conditions, furnishing 1,1,1-tris(boronates) with wide substrate scope, excellent selectivity, and good functional-group tolerance, and is applicable to gram-scale synthesis without loss of yield. The 1,1,1-triborylalkanes can be used in the preparation of α-vinylboronates and borylated cyclic compounds, which are valuable but previously rare compounds. Different alkyl groups can be introduced stepwise via base-mediated deborylative alkylation to produce racemic tertiary alkyl boronates, which can be readily transformed into useful tertiary alcohols.}, language = {en} }
