The Brown hydroboration reaction, first reported in 1957, is the addition of B-H across an olefin in an anti-Markovnikov fashion. Here, we solved a long-standing problem on mild 1,3-hydroborations of non-activated cyclopropanes. A three-component system including cyclopropanes, boron halides, and hydrosilanes has been developed for borylative ring-opening of cyclopropanes following the anti-Markovnikov rule, under mild reaction conditions. Density functional theory (M06-2X) calculations show that the preferred pathway involves a cationic boron intermediate which is quenched by hydride transfer from the silane.
布朗硼氢化反应于1957年首次报道,是硼氢键以反马氏规则加成到烯烃上。在此,我们解决了一个长期存在的关于非活化环丙烷温和1,3-硼氢化反应的问题。已开发出一种包括环丙烷、卤化硼和硅烷的三组分体系,用于在温和反应条件下按照反马氏规则进行环丙烷的硼化开环反应。密度泛函理论(M06-2X)计算表明,优选的反应途径涉及一个阳离子硼中间体,该中间体通过硅烷的氢转移淬灭。
