Ir-catalyzed borylation of 2-substituted indoles selectively yields 7-borylated products in good yields. N-Protection, required for previous functionalizations indoles, is unnecessary.
Ir-catalyzed borylations of 4-substituted benzonitriles are described. In contrast to electrophilic aromatic substitutions and directed ortho metalations, C−H activation/borylation enables functionalization at the 2-position, adjacent cyano group, when 4-subsitutent is larger than cyano. When an excess borane reagent used, diborylation can be achieved with a single regioisomer being formed in certain cases. Extension sterically borylation cyano-substituted, five- six-membered ring...
Ir-catalyzed deborylation can be used to selectively deuterate aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates. Combined with the selectivities of C-H borylations, uniquely labeled compounds prepared. In addition, diborylation/deborylation reactions provide monoborylated regioisomers that complement those prepared by borylation. Comparisons between deborylations Pd-catalyzed diborylated indoles described Movassaghi are made. The process is more effective for deborylating aromatics generally in...
The growing concerns about environmental pollution, particularly water are causing an increasing alarm in modern society. One promising approach to address this issue involves engineering existing materials enhance their effectiveness. A one-step solvothermal reconstruction was used build eco-friendly two-dimensional (2D) AlNiZn-LDH/BDC MOF composite. characterizations confirm the formation of a metal–organic framework (MOF) at layered double hydroxide (LDH) surface. resulting synthesized...
Agricultural soils contain both heavy metals and pesticides originating from various agricultural practices. It is quite important to study the relationships between these two classes of compounds. To accomplish this, 52 soil samples were collected cotton fields analyzed for their metal contents (Ni, Cu, Co, Pb, Cr, Cd) levels most commonly used (imidacloprid, acetamiprid, emamectin). FAAS was estimation determined by HPLC equipped with UV detector. The results revealed slightly enhanced Ni...
Amide directed C-H borylation using ≥two equiv. of BBr3 forms borenium cations containing a R2N(R')C[double bond, length as m-dash]O→B(Ar)Br unit which has significant Lewis acidity at the carbonyl carbon. This enables reduction amide to an amine hydrosilanes. approach can be applied sequentially in one-pot electrophilic borylation-reduction process, for phenyl-acetylamides generates ortho borylated compounds that directly oxidised 2-(2-aminoethyl)-phenol. Other substrates amenable sequence...
Ag 2 O/CuO composite ensures complete mineralization of imidacloprid so helps ensure a greener environment.
Five-coordinate boryl complexes relevant to Ir mediated C–H borylations have been synthesized, providing a glimpse of the most fundamental step in catalytic cycle for first time.
By modifying ligand steric and electronic profiles it is possible to C-H borylate ortho or meta substituents in aromatic heteroaromatic compounds, where differences between accessible sites are small. Dramatic effects on selectivities reactions using B2pin2 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (HBpin) described for the first time. Judicious borane combinations give highly regioselective borylations substrates typical borylation protocols afford poor selectivities.
