As part of a program aimed at metal-catalyzed oxidative transformations of molecules with carbon-metalloid bonds, the synthesis of α-borylated ketones is reported via regioselective TBHP-mediated Wacker-type oxidation of N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA)-protected alkenylboronates. The observed regioselectivity correlates with the hemilabile nature of the B-N dative bond in the MIDA boronate functional group, which allows boron to guide selectivity through a neighboring group effect.
作为旨在实现碳-类金属键分子的金属催化氧化转化的项目的一部分,本文报道了通过 N-甲基亚氨基二乙酸(MIDA)保护的烯基硼酸酯的 TBHP 介导的 Wacker 型氧化反应,实现了α-硼化酮的区域选择性合成。观察到的区域选择性与 MIDA 硼酸酯官能团中 B-N 配位键的半配位性质相关,该性质允许硼通过邻基效应引导选择性。
