Abstract:
In aqueous solution systems, an all-inorganic Ni6-added polyoxometalate (Ni6AP) [Ni6(μ3-OH)3(H2O)12(B-α-SiW9O34)]1- ({NiSiW}, here, {Ni} = Ni6(μ3-OH)3(H2O)12) has been made via a hydrothermal method. By introducing inorganic boron sources, a B3O3(OH)6 ({B}) cluster was precisely anchored onto {Ni} to form a [B3O3(OH)6Ni6(μ3-OH)2(H2O)8(B-α-SiW9O34)]3- ({BNi6(OH)2(H2O)8SiW}) through replacing four terminal water molecules and condensing with one hydroxyl of the {Ni} cluster. Subsequently, the addition of further boron sources facilitated the in situ growth of B-O clusters on the basis of {BNi6(OH)2(H2O)8SiW}, which resulted in the successful synthesis of {[B7O8O2/3(OH)6Ni6(μ3-OH)2(H2O)8(B-α-SiW9O34)]3}7- ({BNi6(OH)2(H2O)8SiW}3 or {B}@{Ni6(OH)2(H2O)8SiW}3). It is the first all-inorganic cage cluster constructed by NiAPs and B-O clusters, which successfully realizes the inorganic borate functionalized POMs from a single cluster to a cage cluster. The central {B7O8O2/3(OH)6}3 ({B}) cluster exhibits an uncommon cavity configuration. Meanwhile, we have conducted a discussion of the possible formation mechanism of B-O functionalized NiAPs. Furthermore, these three compounds efficiently accelerate the oxidative transformation of sulfides, and the number of B atoms in compounds relatively affects the selectivity of the products.

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...
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...
02:47Alkynes 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.
