The Dynamic Covalent Chemistry and Applications of Amidoboronates from the Reductive Coupling of N-Aryl Iminoboronates

与有机同分异构体相比，含bn材料有可能获得新的化学和性质，因此在材料科学和催化领域的应用前景广阔。然而，它们的应用受到其合成方法的限制，但由三种构建块组成的n -芳基亚氨基硼酸盐的模块化自组装使它们成为开发具有定制性能和增加复杂性的新型bn含材料的有吸引力的平台。该项目将研究n -芳基亚氨基硼酸盐的还原偶联以及由此产生的氨基硼酸盐中B-N键的不寻常的动态共价化学。通过了解影响还原偶联非映对和对映选择性的因素以及B-N键的动力学行为，将探索氨基硼酸盐在不对称催化、小分子活化和自组装方面的应用。

BN-containing materials show great promise in applications from materials science to catalysis due to the potential to access new chemistry and properties compared to their organic isosteres. However, their application is limited by methods for their synthesis butthe modular self-assembly of N-aryl iminoboronates from three building blocks makes them an appealing platform for the development of new BN-containing materials with tailored properties and increased complexity. This project will investigate the reductive coupling of N-aryl iminoboronates and the unusual dynamic covalent chemistry of the B-N bonds in the resulting amidoboronates. With a knowledge of factors influencing the diastereo- and enantioselectivity of the reductive coupling and the dynamic behaviour of the B-N bonds, the application of the amidoboronates in asymmetric catalysis, small molecule activation and self-assembly will be explored.
