Boron‐Based Catalysts for C−C Bond‐Formation Reactions

Because the construction of the C?C bond is one of the most significant reactions in organic chemistry, the development of an efficient strategy has attracted much attention throughout the synthetic community. Among various protocols to form C?C bonds, organoboron compounds are not just limited to stoichiometric reagents, but have also made great achievements as catalysts because of the easy modification of the electronic and steric impacts on the boron center. This review presents recent developments of boron‐based catalysts applied in the field of C?C bond‐formation reactions, which are classified into four kinds on the basis of the type of boron catalyst: 1) highly Lewis acidic borane, B(C₆F₅)₃; 2) organoboron acids, RB(OH)₂, and their ester derivatives; 3) borenium ions, (R₂BL)X; and 4) other miscellaneous kinds.     

Organoboron Compounds: Effective Antibacterial and Antiparasitic Agents

The unique electron deficiency and coordination property of boron led to a wide range of applications in chemistry, energy research, materials science and the life sciences. The use of boron-containing compounds as pharmaceutical agents has a long history, and recent developments have produced encouraging strides. Boron agents have been used for both radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In radiotherapy, boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has been investigated to treat various types of tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) of brain, head and neck tumors, etc. Boron agents playing essential roles in such treatments and other well-established areas have been discussed elsewhere. Organoboron compounds used to treat various diseases besides tumor treatments through BNCT technology have also marked an important milestone. Following the clinical introduction of bortezomib as an anti-cancer agent, benzoxaborole drugs, tavaborole and crisaborole, have been approved for clinical use in the treatments of onychomycosis and atopic dermatitis. Some heterocyclic organoboron compounds represent potentially promising candidates for anti-infective drugs. This review highlights the clinical applications and perspectives of organoboron compounds with the natural boron atoms in disease treatments without neutron irradiation. The main topic focuses on the therapeutic applications of organoboron compounds in the diseases of tuberculosis and antifungal activity, malaria, neglected tropical diseases and cryptosporidiosis and toxoplasmosis.     

Donor‐Appended N,C‐Chelate Organoboron Compounds: Influence of Donor Strength on Photochromic Behaviour

Recently, four‐coordinated N,C‐chelate organoboron compounds have been found to show many interesting photochemical transformations depending on the nature of their chelating framework. As such, the effect of substitution on the chelate ligand has been well‐established and understood, but the impact of the aryl groups attached to the boron atom remains less clear. To investigate the effect of enhanced charge‐transfer character, a series of new N,C‐chelate organoboron compounds with donor‐functionalized aryl groups have been synthesized and characterized using NMR, UV/Vis, and electrochemical methods. These compounds were found to possess bright and tunable charge‐transfer luminescence which is dependent on the donor strength of the amino substituent. In addition, some of these compounds undergo photochromic switching, producing dark isomers of various colors. This work establishes that donor‐functionalization of the aryl groups in N,C‐chelate boron compounds is an effective strategy for tuning both the photophysical and photochemical properties of such systems. The new findings also help elucidate the influence of electronic structure on the photoreactivity of N,C‐chelate organoboron compounds which appears to be as important as steric crowding around the boron atom.     

Versatile Reactions of Organoboron Polymers Prepared by Hydroboration Polymerization

Hydroboration polymerization of dienes and thexylborane produces organoboron polymers, which can be regarded as a polymer homolog of trialkylboranes. In other words, the organoboron polymers obtained can be expected to be a novel type of reactive polymer. The present paper describes versatile reactions of organoboron polymers prepared by hydroboration polymerization. For example, reactions with carbon monoxide or with KCN were followed by oxidative treatment to produce the corresponding poly(alcohol)s or poly(ketone)s, respectively. The organoboron polymers were also reacted with bromopyridyl anion or with furyl anion to form cyano- or hydroxyl-containing polymers via ring-opening of pyridine or furan, respectively. Reductive treatment of the organoboron polymer gave the corresponding polymer after reductive cleavage of carbon—boron bonds.

It is divided into sections based on the type of nucleophile, with each section arranged in roughly chronological order. The categories of nucleophiles are alkynyl, alkenyl, and aryl boronates or borates. The principle modes of catalysis, iminium formation and boron chelation, are covered.     

Formyl MIDA Boronate: C1 Building Block Enables Straightforward Access to α‐Functionalized Organoboron Derivatives

Formyl MIDA boronate has been known to be an elusive type of acylboronate that has not been obtained to date. In this work, an approach to the one‐pot preparation and chemical transformations of formyl MIDA boronate were developed to provide new types of α‐functionalized organoboron compounds. Among them are acylboronate reagents which present boron‐substituted analogues of ynones and β‐dicarbonyl compounds. The developed synthetic procedures, utilizing formyl MIDA boronate, are tolerant to diverse functional groups, making this reagent an advantageous C₁ building block for extending the scope of organoboron chemistry.     

BBr3-Mediated P(III)-Directed C−H Borylation of Phosphines

Transition-metal-catalyzed C−H borylation has been widely used in the preparation of organoboron compounds. Here, we developed a general protocol on metal-free P(III)-directed C−H borylation of phosphines mediated by BBr₃, resulting in the formation of products bearing both phosphorus and boron. The development of the metal-free strategy to mimic previous metallic processes has shown low cost, superior practicality, and environmental friendliness. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate the preferred pathway for this metal-free directed C−H borylation process.     

A Chemoselective Polarity-Mismatched Photocatalytic C(sp3)−C(sp2) Cross-Coupling Enabled by Synergistic Boron Activation**

We report the development of a C(sp³)−C(sp²) coupling reaction using styrene boronic acids and redox-active esters under photoredox catalysis. The reaction proceeds through an unusual polarity-mismatched radical addition mechanism that is orthogonal to established processes. Synergistic activation of the radical precursor and organoboron are critical mechanistic events. Activation of an N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) ester by coordination to boron enables electron transfer, with decomposition leading to a nucleofuge rebound, activating the organoboron to radical addition. The unique mechanism enables chemoselective coupling of styrene boronic acids in the presence of other alkene radical acceptors. The scope and limitations of the reaction, and a detailed mechanistic investigation are presented.     

A highly selective tandem cross-coupling of gem-dihaloolefins for a modular, efficient synthesis of highly functionalized indoles

A highly efficient method of indole synthesis using gem-dihalovinylaniline substrates and an organoboron reagent was developed via a Pd-catalyzed tandem intramolecular amination and an intermolecular Suzuki coupling. Aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl boron reagents are all successfully employed, making for a versatile modular approach. The reaction tolerates a variety of substitution patterns on the aniline leading to indoles with group at C2-C7. The orthogonal approach of the sequential copper- and palladium-mediated synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles exploited the wide availability of diverse organoboron reagents.     

A General Approach to Deboronative Radical Chain Reactions with Pinacol Alkylboronic Esters

The generation of carbon‐centered radicals from air‐sensitive organoboron compounds through nucleohomolytic substitution at boron is a general method to generate non‐functionalized and functionalized radicals. Due to their reduced Lewis acidity, alkylboronic pinacol esters are not suitable substrates. We report their in situ conversion into alkylboronic catechol esters by boron‐transesterification with a substoichiometric amount of catechol methyl borate combined with an array of radical chain processes. This simple one‐pot radical‐chain deboronative method enables the conversion of pinacol boronic esters into iodides, bromides, chlorides, and thioethers. The process is also suitable the formation of nitriles and allylated compounds through C?C bond formation using sulfonyl radical traps. The power of combining radical and classical boron chemistry is illustrated with a modular 5‐membered ring formation using a combination of three‐component coupling and protodeboronative cyclization.
