Diisopropyl boronate

A better procedure for the preparation of various alkynylbenziodoxoles (136, 139-146) in high yields involves the reaction of triflates 168 and 112 with alkynyltrimethylsilanes according to Scheme 2.48 [283]. Further modification of this approach consists of the reaction of l-acetoxy-l,2-benziodoxol-3(l//)-one with l-alkynyl(diisopropyl)boronates in acetonitrile under reflux conditions [297]. 

The tartrate-derived allylboronates 25 are best prepared by treatment of triisopropyl borate with the appropriate carbanion. The crude diisopropyl boronate 28 is then treated with either enantiomer of diisopropyl tartrate (DIPT) to effect rapid transesterification, giving the boronates 25, 29, and 30 (Equation 4) [47],...

Stannane 6a underwent facile transmetalation in tetrahydrofuran at — 78 °C on treatment with butyllithium to afford 6b. Addition of the lithium reagent 6b to a solution of 1.1 equivalents of copper(I) bromide-dimethyl sulfide in 1 1 diisopropyl sulfide/tetrahydrofuran at — 78 °C gave the copper reagent 6c, which reacted with methyl vinyl ketone at —78 "C in the presence of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether65, producing 7 in 55% yield65. 

The synthesis in Scheme 13.49 features use of an enantioselective allylic boronate reagent derived from diisopropyl tartrate to establish the C(4) and C(5) stereochemistry. The ring is closed by an olefin metathesis reaction. The C(2) methyl group was introduced by alkylation of the lactone enolate. The alkylation is not stereoselective, but base-catalyzed epimerization favors the desired stereoisomer by 4 1. 

The allyl boronate esters (R,R)- and (S,S)-1 are prepared by reaction of allylboronic acid, CH2=CHCH2B(OH)2 with l- and D-diisopropyl tartrate.1...

The synthesis of L-ribose required two significant innovations for its completion. The first was an efficient synthesis of diisopropyl (chloromethyl)boronate (1) via the in situ preparation of (chloromethyl)lithium by addition of butyllithium to a mixture of chloroiodomethane and triisopropyl borate in THF at — 78°C 18. 

S)-Pinanediol (chloromethyl)boronate is prepared by stirring 48.3 g (0.27 mol) of diisopropyl (chloro-methyl)boronate with 46.1 g (0.27 mol) of (S)-pinanediol in 200 mL of diethyl ether overnight. The solution is concentrated and the product is chromatographed on a short column of silica gel and distilled yield 58.8 g (95%) bp 95-100T (0.2 Torr). 

Kinetic resolution can be accomplished by addition of allyl boronates to aldehyde groups adjacent to the tricarbonyliron fragment [59]. For the synthesis of ikaruga-mycin, Roush and Wada developed an impressive asymmetric crotylboration of a prochiral meso complex using a chiral diisopropyl tartrate-derived crotylborane (Scheme 1.25) [60]. In the course of this synthesis, the stereo-directing effect of the tricarbonyliron fragment has been exploited twice to introduce stereospedfically a crotyl and a vinyl fragment. 

The (E) and (Z) forms of the vinylboron compounds 278 and 279 can be prepared by hydroboration of alkynes and haloalkynes, and their reactions with the (E)- or (Z)-vinyl iodides or bromides 280 and 281 proceed without isomerization the four possible isomers 282-285 can be prepared in high purity. However, for the efficient preparation of the (Z,Z)-dienes 287, the diisopropyl ester of (Z)-alkenylboronic acid 286 should be used. Other boron compounds give poor yields... 

Brown and co-workers developed a novel homoallenyl boronate reagent 169 based on diisopropyl tartrate for the stereoselective homoallenylation of aldehydes 170. The reagent 169 was prepared via homologation of the corresponding allenyl boronate or the alkylation of halomethyl boronate with allenyl Grignard similar to those reported in Scheme 26. The allyl boronate 169 upon reaction with aldehydes furnished the dienyl alcohols 172 with high ee (Scheme 28) <1996JOC100>. 

Chiral addition of allyl metals to imines is one of the useful approaches toward the synthesis of homoallylic amines. These amines can be readily converted to a variety of biologically important molecules such as a-, / -, and y-amino acids. Itsuno and co-workers utilized the allylborane 174 derived from diisopropyl tartrate and cr-pinene for the enantioselective allylboration of imines. The corresponding iV-aluminoimines 173 are readily available from the nitriles via partial reduction using diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL-H) <1999JOM103>. Recently, iV-benzyl-imines 176 have also been utilized for the asymmetric allylboration with allylpinacol boronate 177 in the presence of chiral phosphines as the chiral auxiliaries to obtain homoallylic A -benzylamines 178 in high yield and selectivity (Scheme 29) <2006JA7687>. 

Fig. 16.16. Stereoselective preparations of cis-alkenyl-boronic acids and the corresponding diisopropyl ester starting with cis-bromoalkenes. The first step involves a Br/Li exchange to form the alkenyl-lithium compound B. This organolithium compound is subsequently transmetalated to give complex C by using B(0/Pr)3.

As mentioned in Section 9.12.2.1.1, the boron-zinc exchange can be performed stereoselectively if diisopropyl-zinc instead of diethylzinc is used. For example, hydroboration of the chiral, racemic endocyclic olefin 134 with diethylzinc, followed by twofold transmetallation and electrophilic capture of the resulting copper intermediate with allyl bromide was used for the highly diastereoselective formation of the stereotriad in product 136 (Scheme 35).35,35a 103 QorreSp0nding enantioselective transformations were carried out with chiral boranes and catalytic amounts of copper salts (see Section 9.12.2.2.2).36...
