Abstract:
The synthesis of a storage-stable organosilicon modifier with a dioxaborolane-protecting group is described. Its high reactivity and selective anti-Markovnikov addition in hydrosilylation reactions to afford siloxanes of various structures are shown. The possibility of deprotection of both the initial modifier and its siloxane derivatives under mild conditions using water in yields up to 96% is demonstrated. The existence of an equilibrium between the organosilicon derivatives of phenylboronic acids and their cyclic six-membered boroxines was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis data. The use of siloxane derivatives of phenylboronic acids in Suzuki-Miyaura and Chan-Lam cross-coupling reactions was studied. All synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR (1H, 11B, 13C, and 29Si), IR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

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.
Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes
Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of...
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...
Preparation 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...
