Abstract:
This study investigates the catalytic potential of copper-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs), specifically HKUST-1 and CuBDC, for the protodeboronation of aryl boronic acids. Protodeboronation, was explored under various bases, atmospheres, and substrates. Optimal conditions using K2CO3 as the base and an oxygen atmosphere yielded up to 98% product with HKUST-1. While CuBDC also exhibited catalytic activity, its yields were slightly lower under identical conditions. Substrate size and substituent effects played a crucial role, with bulkier substrates favoring higher yields. Recyclability tests confirmed that both Cu-MOFs retained catalytic activity over three cycles, despite some structural changes. These findings demonstrate Cu-MOFs as promising heterogeneous catalysts for controlled protodeboronation.

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.

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...
02:24Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
