Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation02:47

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation

18.9K
Introduction
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.

Cationic Chain-Growth Polymerization: Mechanism00:57

Cationic Chain-Growth Polymerization: Mechanism

2.4K
The cationic polymerization mechanism consists of three steps: initiation, propagation, and termination. In the initiation step of the polymerization process, the π bond of a monomer gets protonated by the Lewis acid catalyst, which is formed from boron trifluoride and water. The protonation of the π bond generates a carbocation stabilized by the electron‐donating group. In the propagation step, the π bond of the second monomer acts as a nucleophile and attacks the...

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Fluorination and Iodination of Benzene01:13

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Fluorination and Iodination of Benzene

6.4K
Bromination and chlorination of aromatic rings by electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are easily achieved, but fluorination and iodination are difficult to achieve. Fluorine is so reactive that its reaction with benzene is difficult to control, resulting in poor yields of monofluoroaromatic products. To address this, Selectfluor reagent is used as a fluorine source in which a fluorine atom is bonded to a positively charged nitrogen.

Cycloaddition Reactions: MO Requirements for Thermal Activation01:16

Cycloaddition Reactions: MO Requirements for Thermal Activation

3.7K
Thermal cycloadditions are reactions where the source of activation energy needed to initiate the reaction is provided in the form of heat. A typical example of a thermally-allowed cycloaddition is the Diels–Alder reaction, which is a [4 + 2] cycloaddition. In contrast, a [2 + 2] cycloaddition is thermally forbidden.

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes03:08

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes

9.0K
In addition to the oxymercuration–demercuration method, which converts the alkenes to alcohols with Markovnikov orientation, a complementary hydroboration-oxidation method yields the anti-Markovnikov product. The hydroboration reaction, discovered in 1959 by H.C. Brown, involves the addition of a B–H bond of borane to an alkene giving an organoborane intermediate. The oxidation of this intermediate with basic hydrogen peroxide forms an alcohol.

Radical Substitution: Allylic Bromination01:27

Radical Substitution: Allylic Bromination

5.3K
In organic synthesis, the formation of products can be altered by changing the reaction conditions. For example, a dibromo addition product is formed when propene is treated with bromine at room temperature. In contrast, propene undergoes allylic substitution in non-polar solvents at high temperatures to give 3-bromopropene. In order to avoid the addition reaction, the bromine concentration must be kept as low as possible throughout the reaction. This can be achieved using N-bromosuccinimide...

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Synthetic Methodology

Background:

  • Fluorinated arylboronic acids are crucial building blocks in organic synthesis.
  • Their application in cross-coupling reactions is limited by sensitivity to bases, leading to side reactions like protodeboronation.

  • To develop a general and effective solution for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of base-sensitive fluorinated arylboronic acids.
  • To identify a catalytic system that accelerates coupling reactions while minimizing reagent decomposition.
  • To enable broader synthetic applications of these valuable building blocks.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a specific palladium complex, Pd(PAd3)(p-FC6H4)Br, as an "on-cycle" precatalyst.
  • Investigated the role of boron speciation (acid vs. ester forms) in reaction kinetics.
  • Optimized reaction conditions to favor catalysis over protodeboronation.

Main Results:

  • The developed precatalyst significantly accelerates Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions.
  • The reaction rate was faster than the rate of protodeboronation, even under harsh conditions.
