Hydroboration of alkynes is a practical route for the syntheses of 1-alkenylboron compounds which are a versatile reagent for organic synthesis. 1, 2 Although much attention has been recently focused on the metal-catalyzed hydroboration with catecholborane (1a) or pinacolborane (1b), both the uncatalyzed1, 3 and the catalyzed reactions4, 5 yield (E)-1-alkenylboronates through the anti-Markovnikov and syn-addition of borane to terminal alkynes. Thus,(Z)-1-alkenylboron compounds have been synthesized by an alternative, two-step method. 6, 7 We wish to report a formal trans-hydroboration of terminal alkynes with 1a or 1b to yield cis-1-alkenylboronates in the presence of a Rh (I)-or Ir (I)-PiPr3 complex and Et3N (Scheme 1). For convenience of the analyses, all products derived from 1a were converted into the corresponding pinacol esters prior to isolation of 2-4. The selected results for the catalytic hydroboration of 1-octyne are shown in Table 1.The catalyst in situ generated from [Rh (cod) Cl] 2 and PiPr3 (4 equiv) completed the hydroboration of 1-octyne within 1 h at room temperature (entry 1). 8 The presence of more than 1 equiv of Et3N was critical to achieve high yield and high cis-selectivity because a similar reaction resulted in a mixture of all isomers 2-4 in the absence of Et3N (entry 2). Another dominant factor reversing the conventional cis-hydroboration to the trans-hydroboration was the use of alkyne in excess of the borane reagent because (E)-isomer 3 was predominated when using a slightly excess of 1a (entry 3). The reaction initially yields (Z)-alkenylboronate 2, but an addition/elimination sequence of Rh-H species isomerizes 2 to a more stable (E)-isomer 3. 9a, b The steric and electronic effects of PiPr3 also play a major role in influencing
