Abstract:
Metal-Lewis acid cooperation provides new opportunities in catalysis. In this work, we report a new type of palladium-borane cooperation involving anionic Pd0 species. The air-stable DPB palladium complex 1 (DPB=diphosphine-borane) was prepared and reacted with KH to give the Pd0 borohydride 2, the first monomeric anionic Pd0 species to be structurally characterized. The boron moiety acts as an acceptor towards Pd in 1 via Pd→B interaction, but as a donor in 2 thanks to B-H-Pd bridging. This enables the activation of C-Cl bonds and the system is amenable to catalysis, as demonstrated by the hydro-/deutero-dehalogenation of a variety of (hetero)aryl chlorides (20 examples, average yield 85 %).

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes
Regioselectivity 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.
Alkynes 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.
