Generated in situ from air-stable cobalt precursors or readily synthesized using NaHBEt3, (PPh3)3CoH(N2) was found to be an effective catalyst for the hydroboration of alkenes. Unlike previous base-metal catalysts for alkene isomerization-hydroboration which favor the incorporation of boron at terminal positions, (PPh3)3CoH(N2) promotes boron incorporation adjacent to π-systems even in substrates where the alkene is at a remote position, enabling a unique route to 1,1-diboron compounds from α,ω-dienes.
(三苯基膦)₃CoH(N₂)可由空气稳定的钴前体原位生成,或使用NaHBEt₃轻松合成,它被发现是烯烃硼氢化反应的有效催化剂。与之前用于烯烃异构化-硼氢化反应的贱金属催化剂不同,后者倾向于在末端位置引入硼,而(三苯基膦)₃CoH(N₂)即使在烯烃处于较远位置的底物中,也能促进硼在π体系附近的引入,从而为从α,ω-二烯合成1,1-二硼化合物提供了一条独特的途径。
