Boron bromide reaction with

Alkyl fluorides are the most reactive of the alkyl halides. Boron trichloride (BCI3), boron trifluoride (BF3), boron triiodide (BI3), and boron tribfomide (BBr3) all catalyze the reaction of alkyl fluorides and benzene, although they are ineffective catalysts for the analogous reaction of alkyl chlorides and alkyl bromides. reaction with mixed halides, the C—F bond reacts faster than the C—Cl, C—Br or C—I bond. This is consistent with the observed order of reactivity for alkyl halides with aluminum chloride (AICI3) ... 

Boron Bromide. Approximately 30% of BBr produced in the United States is consumed in the manufacture of proprietory pharmaceuticals (qv) (7). BBr is used in the manufacture of isotopicaHy enriched crystalline boron, as a Etiedel-Crafts catalyst in various polymerization, alkylation, and acylation reactions, and in semiconductor doping and etching. Examples of use of BBr as a catalyst include copolymerization of butadiene with olefins (112) polymerization of ethylene and propylene (113), and A/-vinylcarbazole (114) in hydroboration reactions and in tritium labeling of steroids and aryl rings (5). 

These products are thermally stable at room temperature but decompose at elevated temperatures by ehtmnation of CFj The reaction with hydrogen fluonde IS different from that with hydrogen chlonde and hydrogen bromide Presumably this difference is derived from the strength of the boron-fluonne bond [108 (equauon 86)...

Thallium(III), particularly as the trifluoroacetate salt, is also a reactive electrophilic metallating species, and a variety of synthetic schemes based on arylthallium intermediates have been devised.75 Arylthallium compounds are converted to chlorides or bromides by reaction with the appropriate cupric halide.76 Reaction with potassium iodide gives aryl iodides.77 Fluorides are prepared by successive treatment with potassium fluoride and boron trifluoride.78 Procedures for converting arylthallium compounds to nitriles and phenols have also been described.79... 

In recent years, a variety of aryl boronic acids are commercially available, albeit in some cases they may be expensive for large scale purposes. During our work in the mid-1990 s boronic acid (II) was not commercially available and so two different protocols were used to prepare this acid. The first approach involved the transmetallation with n-butyl lithium of aryl bromide (I) and trapping the lithio species generated with trialkyl borate followed by an acid quench. Aryl bromide (I) is easily prepared by reaction of o-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride with 2-propanol in the presence of pyridine as a base. The second approach was a directed metallation of isopropyl ester of benzene sulfonic acid (VII), to generate the same lithio species and reaction with trialkyl borate. The sulfonyl ester is prepared by reaction of 2-propanol with benzenesulfonyl chloride. From a long-term strategy the latter approach is... 

In 2011, Hartwig and coworkers reported the total synthesis of taiwaniaquinol B (55, Scheme 11.9), a member of a family of diterpenoids that are derived from the abietane skeleton [36]. A key aspect of the Hartwig synthesis of taiwaniaquinol B was the use of the iridium-catalyzed borylation reaction to accomplish the C(5) functionalization of resorcinol derivative 53. This regioselectivity for the overall bromination is complementary to that which would be obtained using a standard electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reaction. In the transformation of 53 to 54, a sterically controlled borylation was first accomplished, which was then followed by treatment of the boronic ester intermediate with cupric bromide to... 

Ring-opening reactions of tartrate acetal 211 with cuprates and dialkyl boron bromides were conducted (Scheme 96). 9 The reaction proceeds stereoselectively in favor of the formation of 212. Ester groups are tolerant to these reaction conditions. 

No examples of such reactions have been disclosed. Displacement of halogens on the parent heterocycle through metal-catalyzed processes have surprisingly not been reported to our knowledge on the neutral heterocycle. Recently, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of imidazolium bromide 113 with various boronic acids or esters were reported <2005T6207> to proceed in good yield, without deprotonation at the C-3 position (Scheme 35). 

Homoallylic amines result from the reaction of aldimines, previously activated by boron trifluoride etherate, with allylic bromides in the presence of chromium(II) chloride, e.g. equation 68194. 

When the metallic additive to the intermediate 374 was zinc dihalide (or another Lewis acid, such as aluminum trichloride, iron trichloride or boron trifluoride), a conjugate addition to electrophilic olefins affords 381 . In the case of the lithium-zinc transmetallation, a palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reaction with aryl bromides or iodides allowed the preparation of arylated componnds 384 ° in 26-77% yield. In addition, a Sn2 allylation of the mentioned zinc intermediates with reagents of type R CH=CHCH(R )X (X = chlorine, bromine) gave the corresponding compounds 385 in 52-68% yield. ... 

The catalytic activity of certain of the Friedel-Crafts catalysts was shown to decrease over a very wide range in the series boron fluoride, aluminum bromide, titanium tetrachloride, titanium tetrabromide, boron chloride, boron bromide and stannic chloride (Fairbrother and Seymour, mentioned in Plesch al., 83). When boron fluoride is added to isobutylene at dry ice temperatures, the olefin is converted to a solid polymer within a very few seconds. The time required for complete polymerization with aluminum bromide hardly extends to a few minutes while reaction times of hours are required with titanium chloride and periods of days with stannic chloride. 

Mixtures that are already 99% (S,S)-diol (a7 )-a-chloro boronic ester on reaction with methylmagnesium bromide or other simple alkylmetallic compounds must undergo destruction of the 1 % (. >,.SJ-diol (o S)-a-chloro boronic ester to byproducts that have very different physical properties from the major product. Thus, this chemistry accounts for the very high diastereomeric ratios noted in Table 1 (Section 1.1.2.1.2.1.). 

Ester enolates replace bromide from a-bromo boronic esters with remarkable diastereoselcctiv-ity. (Dibromomethyl)lithium is generated by addition of lithium diisopropylamide to dibro-momethane in the presence of a boronic ester at — 78 "C to produce an a-bromo boronic ester. Reaction of the a-bromo boronic ester with lithium 1-tert-butoxy-Tpropen-l-olate yields a product that is almost exclusively the threo-isomer (d.r. = 15 1 to 60 1), as shown by conversion to the / -hydroxy carboxylic ester24. It is worth noting the facility with which a-bromo boronic esters racemize in the presence of halide ions72. 

It has been remarked earlier that the lone electron-pair in PC13 can be used for completion of an octet in boron compounds with BC13 it forms the compound C P.BCIs, the bromide and iodide have been prepared, a less stable compound is formed from BC13 and AsC13 and there is no reaction with SbCl3. 

In a similar way, Guiles and co-workers immobilized an aryl pinacol boronate on resin via an ester linkage, and then a small number of aryl halides were coupled to this (Scheme 31). The products were cleaved and immediately transformed into their methyl esters, presumably for ease of analysis and separation from unreacted boronate. The reaction was found to be slower than that of the opposite polarity (i.e., with the resin-bound iodide), and only moderate yields were obtained after as much as 48 h. Yields could be considerably improved upon a second round of coupling, but only one example was given of this. The aryl bromides were found to react only upon heating.
