Boronates nucleophilic displacement reactions

Methods of producing B —C bonds include hydroboration, nucleophilic displacement at a boron atom in BX., (X = halogens or B(0R>3) by e.g. a Grignard reagent, and a psewiio-Friedel-Crafts reaction with an aromatic hydrocarbon, BX3, and AICI3. 

An even simpler protocol for performing nucleophilic substitutions (aminations) and Suzuki reactions in one pot was reported by the Organ group for the generation of a 42-member library of styrene-based nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonists (Scheme 6.21) [49]. After considerable experimentation, the authors found that simultaneous nucleophilic displacement and Suzuki coupling could be carried out very effectively by charging the microwave process vessel with the palladium catalyst (0.5 mol% palladium-on-charcoal), the boronic acid [R1B(OH)2], the... 

Diazotization in the presence of boron trifluoride enables diazonium tetrafluoroborates to be isolated from the reaction mixture and purified. Subsequent controlled decomposition produces the required fluoroaromatic. Although explosion hazards and the toxicity of the isolated salts are significant concerns with this process, known as the Balz-Schiemann process, 4,4 -di-fluorobenzophenone (BDF. 6) has been prepared by this route as a monomer for the production of the engineering plastic poly(ether ether ketone) , or PEEK , by condensation with 1,4-dihydroxybenzene in the presence of potassium carbonate. BDF 6 is superior to its chlorine analog because in aromatic systems the nucleophilic displacement of fluorine is more facile than that of chlorine, leading to a shorter polymerization time and a better quality product containing less degradation impurities. 

To expand the diversity of their libraries Brill et al.16 also modified various heterocycles by alkylation, acylation, or metal-mediated coupling reaction prior to resin capture. A remaining chloro substituent was still available for nucleophilic displacement or a palladium-mediated coupling reaction with anilines, phenols, and boronic acids on solid phase [see Fig. 10 for the preparation of purine derivative (62)]. 

A new thiol auxiliary (45, R = COEt) participates in boron-mediated anti-aldol reactions with aldehydes with high yield and de.124 Reaction of the product with (g> nucleophiles displaces it (in the form of the thiol, 45 R = H), converting the aldol product under mild conditions into esters, thiolates, phosphonates, alcohols, or acids. 

He and his students developed C-alkylation with quaternary ammonium salts and nucleophilic displacements on such salts, including the stereochemistry. His name is immediately associated with important innovations in the use of polyphosphoric acid for inter- and intramolecular condensations, cyclizations, and functional conversions in organic chemistry. He pioneered the use of boron trifluoride as an efficient catalyst in the Fischer indole synthesis and discovered new reactions of anils, including Diels-Alder reactions. He and his students delineated the requirements for disproportionation of tertiary amines. He developed the synthesis and chemistry of arylboranic acids. One of his fundamental ideas was for the incorporation of sufficient boron into organ-specific drugs that they could then be... 

If migration of the hydride and ring opening of the epoxide are concerted, stereospecificity of the reaction is assured. Nucleophilic displacement by ethyl ether (derived from boron trifluoride etherate) removes boron trifluoride to generate the product ketone. 

The halogen groups of 5-halodibenzoboroles (19) have been displaced by a variety of nucleophiles. The reaction involves initial nucleophilic addition to the empty p-orbital on boron followed by elimination of halogen. 

The binding of the nucleophile to the boron atom in structure 5 facilitates the internal migration and nucleophilic displacement with inversion to the point that side reactions such as P-elimination are not observed. Strongly basic nucleophiles work best in the conversion of 4 into 7, but the displacement process is assisted by the boron atom even if a fiilly covalent bond to boron is probably not involved [9j. 

Nucleophilic displacement of a-halogen substituents is facilitated by the boronic ester group, and elimination reactions do not normally occur [9], This early observation has been substantiated by the large body of chemistry that has accumulated since. 

Hydrolysis of the halides of nonmetals can be classified as a nucleophilic displacement in which a water molecule acts as the nucleophile. The reactions of silicon tetrachloride and boron trichloride are typical.
