Abstract:
An organic-inorganic hybrid and synergistic boronate affinity (BA) monolithic column was synthesized by a novel "one-step" approach. We report on the synthesis of a unique organic-inorganic hybrid affinity monolith by using TEOS, the organic silane, N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (AEAPTES) and γ-MAPS as the co-precursors, 4-vinylphenylboronic acid as the functionalized monomer, and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator. Due to the presence of amino groups in the AEAPTES molecule, the prepared monolith exhibits several attractive properties. The monolith will be more hydrophilic and can bind with cis-diol compounds at neutral pH by a mechanism of intermolecular B-N coordination. The resulting hybrid boronate affinity monoliths have potential applications in specific recognition and enrichment of cis-diol biomolecules under neutral conditions.

02:15Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
02:36Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.

02:47Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
