Alkynyl boronic acid

Alkynyl boronic acid derivatives were not used earlier in Suzuki couplings. An effective Suzuki-Miyaura reaction between alkynyl ate complexes (alkynyltrialk-oxy borate complexes) has been reported by Colobert [112] Oh [113]. 1-Alkynyl(trii-sopropoxy) borates (137) were prepared by borylation of the corresponding alkynyl lithium species. These stable borate complexes were subsequently used in Suzuki coupling leading to products of type 138 (Scheme 3.74). 

Palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions like the Suzuki reac-tion as well as the Heck reaction and the Stille reaction, have in recent years gained increased importance in synthetic organic chemistry. In case of the Suzuki reaction, an organoboron compound—usually a boronic acid—is reacted with an aryl (or alkenyl, or alkynyl) halide in the presence of a palladium catalyst. 

Alkynyl halides are possible monomers for the cross-coupling polymerization, in which boronic acids are used as the organometallic counterparts. For example, bifunctional boronic acid 46 is allowed to react with l,4-di(bromoethy-nyl)benzene 138 to afford the corresponding PAE 139 as shown in Equation (64). Polymerization proceeds at room temperature in toluene in the presence of silver(i) oxide as an activator of the boron reagent. The polymer 139 is obtained in 30-50% yield showing color of red-brown to deep red-brown and slight solubility in toluene (<0.1 wt.%). The molecular weight (Mr of 139 was 1700-4300 (PDI = 1.3-3.6). 

As noted for the Heck reaction, aryl, alkenyl, and alkynyl bromides, iodides, and triflates are best for the oxidative addition. However, aromatic, heteroaromatic, alkenyl, and even alkyl boronic acids and esters can be coupled effectively. The reaction appears almost oblivious to other functional groups present ... 

The Suzuki Coupling, which is the palladium-catalysed cross coupling between organoboronic acid and halides. Recent catalyst and methods developments have broadened the possible applications enormously, so that the scope of the reaction partners is not restricted to aryls, but includes alkyls, alkenyls and alkynyls. Potassium trifluoroborates and organoboranes or boronate esters may be used in place of boronic acids. Some pseudohalides (for example triflates) may also be used as coupling partners. 

The B-G bond of allyl-, alkynyl-, aryl-, and benzylboranes is more easily cleaved than that of alkylboranes. The C-B bond of aromatic boronic acids is stable to water, but polyfluorinated phenylboronic acids are exceptionally sensitive to Me0H-H20-K0H and Me0H-H20-pyridine.488 Allylic organoboranes were hydrolyzed with water at room temperature with complete allylic rearrangement (Equation (102)).489,490 Addition of water resulted in the rapid hydrolysis of benzylic G-B bond of 329 due to the electron-withdrawing effect of Cr(CO)3 group (Equation (103)).491... 

Alkenylboronic acids and esters underwent conjugated addition to ct,/ -unsaturated ketones in the presence of trifluoroborane etherate589 or cyanuric fluoride (Equation (129)).590,591 Alkadienyl trifluoromethyl ketones were stereoselectively prepared from (2-alkoxyvinyl) trifluoromethyl ketones (Equation (130)).592 Alkynyl boronates can transfer the alkynyl groups regioselectively and enantioselectively to enones (Equation (131 )).593... 

The original procedure involved the coupling of aryl bromides with secondary amines. However, since then the scope has been expanded to include substrates such as aryl iodides, chlorides, fluorides, triflates, tosylates, nonaflates, iodonium salts, and even boronic acids. While the reaction has not been extensively utilized with vinyl or alkynyl substrates, it can be performed with various heteroaryl halides. Similarly, numerous types of nitrogen-containing coupling partners, including primary amines, imines, various azoles, lactams, and simple amides, can now be used in this reaction. 

However, the application of these classical procedures for 1-alkenylboronic acid or ester synthesis may suffer from the formation of small amounts of the opposite stereoisomers, or from bis-alkenylation leading to the boronic acid derivatives. Also, formation of trialkylboranes may occur. A recent useful variant utilizes organolithium reagents and triisopropyl borate, followed by acidification with HCl to give directly alkyl-, aryl-, 1-alkynyl-, and 1-alkenylboronic esters in high yields, often over 90% (Scheme 2-6) [27]. Triisopropyl borate was shown to be the best of the available alkyl borates to avoid multiple alkylation of the borates. 

Molander has published a series of papers demonstrating the utility of potassium alkyl, alkenyl-, alkynyl-, and aryltrifluoroborates in palladium coupling reactions. The crystallinity and air-stability of these trifluoroborate salts make the use of these an interesting alternative to the use of boronic acids or esters. Good yields have been obtained in several related palladium coupling processes, which are most easily classified as Suzuki couplings. The broad applicability of this process is demonstrated by the production of 58 [40], 59 [41], and 60 [42].

Subsequent to this, there have been numerous reports of the use of this reaction using alkenyl, alkynyl and arylboronic adds or esters in reactions with a range of amines and aldehydes. This reaction has been variously named the boronic Acid Mannich , boronic Mannich , boro-Mannich , Petasis boronic acid-Mannich , Petasis borono-Mannich , and Petasis" reaction. The more indusive term of Petasis borono-Mannich reaction will be used throughout this chapter.
