- Manganese-Catalyzed C(sp2)-H Borylation of Furan and Thiophene Derivatives
-
Aryl boronic esters are bench-stable, platform building-blocks that can be accessed through metal-catalyzed aryl C(sp2)-H borylation reactions. C(sp2)-H bond functionalization reactions using rare- and precious-metal catalysts are well established, and while examples utilizing Earth-abundant alternatives have emerged, manganese catalysis remains lacking. The manganese-catalyzed C-H borylation of furan and thiophene derivatives is reported alongside an in situ activation method providing facile access to the active manganese hydride species. Mechanistic investigations showed that blue light irradiation directly affected catalysis by action at the metal center, that C(sp2)-H bond borylation occurs through a C-H metallation pathway, and that the reversible coordination of pinacolborane to the catalyst gave a manganese borohydride complex, which was as an off-cycle resting state.

- Rh-Catalyzed Base-Free Decarbonylative Borylation of Twisted Amides
-
We report the rhodium-catalyzed base-free decarbonylative borylation of twisted amides. The synthesis of versatile arylboronate esters from aryl twisted amides is achieved via decarbonylative rhodium(I) catalysis and highly selective N-C(O) insertion. The method is notable for a very practical, additive-free Rh(I) catalyst system. The method shows broad functional group tolerance and excellent substrate scope, including site-selective decarbonylative borylation/Heck cross-coupling via divergent N-C/C-Br cleavage and late-stage pharmaceutical borylation.

- Iron-catalysed C(sp2)-H borylation enabled by carboxylate activation
-
Arene C(sp2)-H bond borylation reactions provide rapid and efficient routes to synthetically versatile boronic esters. While iridium catalysts are well established for this reaction, the discovery and development of methods using Earth-abundant alternatives is limited to just a few examples. Applying an in situ catalyst activation method using air-stable and easily handed reagents, the iron-catalysed C(sp2)-H borylation reactions of furans and thiophenes under blue light irradiation have been developed. Key reaction intermediates have been prepared and characterised, and suggest two mechanistic pathways are in action involving both C-H metallation and the formation of an iron boryl species.

- Discovery of S64315, a Potent and Selective Mcl-1 Inhibitor
-
Myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1) has emerged as an attractive target for cancer therapy. It is an antiapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, whose upregulation in human cancers is associated with high tumor grade, poor survival, and resistance to chemotherapy. Here we report the discovery of our clinical candidate S64315, a selective small molecule inhibitor of Mcl-1. Starting from a fragment derived lead compound, we have conducted structure guided optimization that has led to a significant (3 log) improvement of target affinity as well as cellular potency. The presence of hindered rotation along a biaryl axis has conferred high selectivity to the compounds against other members of the Bcl-2 family. During optimization, we have also established predictive PD markers of Mcl-1 inhibition and achieved both efficient in vitro cell killing and tumor regression in Mcl-1 dependent cancer models. The preclinical candidate has drug-like properties that have enabled its development and entry into clinical trials.

- Direct C?H Borylation of Arenes Catalyzed by Saturated Hydride-Boryl-Iridium-POP Complexes: Kinetic Analysis of the Elemental Steps
-
The saturated trihydride IrH3{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (1; xant(PiPr2)2=9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene) activates the B?H bond of two molecules of pinacolborane (HBpin) to give H2, the hydride-boryl derivatives IrH2(Bpin){κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (2) and IrH(Bpin)2{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (3) in a sequential manner. Complex 3 activates a C?H bond of two molecules of benzene to form PhBpin and regenerates 2 and 1, also in a sequential manner. Thus, complexes 1, 2, and 3 define two cycles for the catalytic direct C?H borylation of arenes with HBpin, which have dihydride 2 as a common intermediate. C?H bond activation of the arenes is the rate-determining step of both cycles, as the C?H oxidative addition to 3 is faster than to 2. The results from a kinetic study of the reactions of 1 and 2 with HBpin support a cooperative function of the hydride ligands in the B?H bond activation. The addition of the boron atom of the borane to a hydride facilitates the coordination of the B?H bond through the formation of κ1- and κ2-dihydrideborate intermediates.

- Mechanism and Scope of Nickel-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Borylation of Carboxylic Acid Fluorides
-
This Article describes the development of a base-free, nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative coupling of carboxylic acid fluorides with diboron reagents to selectively afford aryl boronate ester products. Detailed studies were conducted to assess the relative rates of direct transmetalation between aryl boronate esters and diboron reagents and a bisphosphine nickel(aryl)(fluoride) intermediate. These investigations revealed that diboron reagents undergo transmetalation with this Ni(aryl)(fluoride) intermediate at rates significantly faster than their aryl boronate ester congeners. Furthermore, the reactivity of both boron reagents toward transmetalation is enhanced with increasing electrophilicity of the boron center. These mechanistic insights were leveraged to develop a catalytic decarbonylative borylation of acid fluorides that proved applicable to a variety of (hetero)aryl carboxylic acid fluorides as well as diverse diboron reagents. The acid fluorides can be generated in situ directly from carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the mechanistic studies directed the identification of various air-stable Ni pre-catalysts for this transformation.

- Practical and Scalable Synthesis of Borylated Heterocycles Using Bench-Stable Precursors of Metal-Free Lewis Pair Catalysts
-
A practical and scalable metal-free catalytic method for the borylation and borylative dearomatization of heteroarenes has been developed. This synthetic method uses inexpensive and conveniently synthesizable bench-stable precatalysts of the form 1-NHR2-2-BF3-C6H4, commercially and synthetically accessible heteroarenes as substrates, and pinacolborane as the borylation reagent. The preparation of several borylated heterocycles on 2 and 50 g scales was achieved under solvent-free conditions without the use of Schlenk techniques or a glovebox. A kilogram-scale borylation of one of the heteroarene substrates was also achieved using this cost-effective green methodology to exemplify the fact that our methodology can be conveniently implemented in fine chemical industries.

- METHODS FOR FORMING SATURATED (HETERO)CYCLIC BORYLATED HYDROCARBONS AND RELATED COMPOUNDS
-
The disclosure relates to methods for forming at least partially saturated cyclic and heterocyclic borylated hydrocarbons, as well as related compounds, which can be precursor compounds in the synthesis of any of a variety of pharmaceutical or medicinal compounds with a desired structure and/or stereochemistry for drug synthesis or drug candidate evaluation. The methods generally include reduction of an unsaturated cyclic or heterocyclic borylated hydrocarbon having a boron-containing substituent at an sp2-carbon, where such reduction converts the sp2-carbon to an sp3-carbon at the point of attachment of the boron-containing substituent. The methods can exhibit a selectivity for syn-addition during reduction, which can provide stereospecific products, such as when the unsaturated cyclic or heterocyclic reactant is multiply substituted with boron groups and/or other functional groups.

- Development of Enantiospecific Coupling of Secondary and Tertiary Boronic Esters with Aromatic Compounds
-
The stereospecific cross-coupling of secondary boronic esters with sp2 electrophiles (Suzuki-Miyaura reaction) is a long-standing problem in synthesis, but progress has been achieved in specific cases using palladium catalysis. However, related couplings with tertiary boronic esters are not currently achievable. To address this general problem, we have focused on an alternative method exploiting the reactivity of a boronate complex formed between an aryl lithium and a boronic ester. We reasoned that subsequent addition of an oxidant or an electrophile would remove an electron from the aromatic ring or react in a Friedel-Crafts-type manner, respectively, generating a cationic species, which would trigger 1,2-migration of the boron substituent, creating the new C-C bond. Elimination (preceded by further oxidation in the former case) would result in rearomatization giving the coupled product stereospecifically. Initial work was examined with 2-furyllithium. Although the oxidants tested were unsuccessful, electrophiles, particularly NBS, enabled the coupling reaction to occur in good yield with a broad range of secondary and tertiary boronic esters, bearing different steric demands and functional groups (esters, azides, nitriles, alcohols, and ethers). The reaction also worked well with other electron-rich heteroaromatics and 6-membered ring aromatics provided they had donor groups in the meta position. Conditions were also found under which the B(pin)- moiety could be retained in the product, ortho to the boron substituent. This protocol, which created a new C(sp2)-C(sp3) and an adjacent C-B bond, was again applicable to a range of secondary and tertiary boronic esters. In all cases, the coupling reaction occurred with complete stereospecificity. Computational studies verified the competing processes involved and were in close agreement with the experimental observations.

- Metal-free catalytic C-H bond activation and borylation of heteroarenes
-
Transition metal complexes are efficient catalysts for the C-H bond functionalization of heteroarenes to generate useful products for the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. However, the costly need to remove potentially toxic trace metals from the end products has prompted great interest in developing metal-free catalysts that can mimic metallic systems.We demonstrated that the borane (1-TMP-2-BH2-C6H4)2 (TMP, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine) can activate the C-H bonds of heteroarenes and catalyze the borylation of furans, pyrroles, and electron-rich thiophenes. The selectivities complement those observed with most transition metal catalysts reported for this transformation.

- Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of heterocycle-containing poly(disubstituted acetylene)s
-
The metathesis polymerizations of disubstituted acetylenes containing heterocycles such as thiophene, furan, benzo[b]thiophene, and benzothiazole were examined using NbCl5, TaCl5, and WCl6. Thiophene-containing monomers polymerized to afford relatively high-molecular-weight polymers in moderate yields. Benzo[b]thiophene-containing monomers also polymerized to give polymers with relatively high molecular weights. On the other hand, furan- and benzothiazole-containing monomers exhibited low metathesis polymerizability, and the polymerizations did not provide high-molecular-weight polymers. Poly(1-hexyl-2-arylacetylene)s having heterocycles [poly(1a) and poly(3a), Scheme 1] emitted blue-colored lights, and the emission maxima were around 480 nm. Heterocycle-containing poly(1-phenyl-2-arylacetylene) [poly(1b)] and poly(1-fluorenyl-2-arylacetylene) [poly(3d)] showed green-colored and yellow-colored emissions, and the emission maxima were 520 and 540 nm, respectively. The emission wavelengths of poly(disubstituted acetylene)s having heterocycles were almost the same as those of the corresponding poly(disubstituted acetylene)s without heterocycles. However, heterocycle-containing polymers showed high fluorescence quantum yields compared to the corresponding polymers without heterocycles. Diarylacetylene polymers showed emission red-shifts between the solution and cast film, while the emission maximum of poly(1-hexyl-2-phenylacetylene) [poly(1a)] in the cast film was almost the same as that in the solution. Benzo[b]thiophene-containing poly(1-(4-trimethylsilylphenyl)-2-phenylacetylene) [poly(3b)] and poly(1-(9,9-dimethyl-2-fluorenyl)-2-phenylacetylene) [poly(3d)] afforded the free-standing membranes because of their high molecular weights. The oxygen permeability coefficient (PO2) of poly(3b) was as large as 1400 barrers. Poly(3d) showed higher gas permeability, and its PO2 was 5300 barrers.

- C-H bond activation/borylation of furans and thiophenes catalyzed by a half-sandwich iron N-heterocyclic carbene complex
-
A coordinatively unsaturated iron-methyl complex having an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, [Cp*Fe-(LMe)Me] (1; Cp *=η5-C5Me5, L Me=1,3,4,5-tetramethyl-imidazol-2-ylidene), is synthesized from the reaction of [Cp*Fe(TMEDA)Cl] (TMEDA=N,N,N',N'- tetramethylethylenediamine) with methyllithium and LMe. Complex 1 is found to activate the C-H bonds of furan, thiophene, and benzene, giving rise to aryl complexes, [Cp*Fe(LMe)-(aryl)] (aryl=2-furyl (2), 2-thienyl (3), phenyl (4)). The C-H bond cleavage reactions are applied to the dehydrogenative coupling of furans or thiophenes with pinacolborane (HBpin) in the presence of tert-butylethylene and a catalytic amount of 1 (10 mol% to HBpin). The borylation of the furan/thiophene or 2-substituted furans/thiophenes occurs exclusively at the 2-or 5-positions, respectively, whereas that of 3-substituted furans/thiophenes takes place mainly at the 5-position and gives a mixture of regioisomers. Treatment of 2 with 2 equiv of HBpin results in the quantitative formation of 2-boryl-furan and the borohydride complex [Cp *Fe(LMe)(H2Bpin)] (5). Heating a solution of 5 in the presence of tert-butylethylene led to the formation of an alkyl complex [Cp*Fe-(LMe)CH2CH2tBu] (6), which was found to cleave the C-H bond of furan to produce 2. On the basis of these results, a possible catalytic cycle is proposed.

- The palladium-catalyzed aerobic kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols: Reaction development, scope, and applications
-
The first palladium-catalyzed enantioselective oxidation of secondary alcohols has been developed, utilizing the readily available diamine (-)-sparteine as a chiral ligand and molecular oxygen as the stoichiometric oxidant. Mechanistic insights regarding the role of the base and hydrogen-bond donors have resulted in several improvements to the original system. Namely, addition of cesium carbonate and tert-butyl alcohol greatly enhances reaction rates, promoting rapid resolutions. The use of chloroform as solvent allows the use of ambient air as the terminal oxidant at 23°C, resulting in enhanced catalyst selectivity. These improved reaction conditions have permitted the successful kinetic resolution of benzylic, allylic, and cyclopropyl secondary alcohols to high enantiomeric excess with good-toexcellent selectivity factors. This catalyst system has also been applied to the desymmetrization of meso-diols, providing high yields of enantioenriched hydroxyketones.

- Mechanism of the mild functionalization of arenes by diboron reagents catalyzed by iridium complexes. Intermediacy and chemistry of bipyridine-ligated iridium trisboryl complexes
-
This paper describes mechanistic studies on the functionalization of arenes with the diboron reagent B2pin2 (bis-pinacolato diborane(4)) catalyzed by the combination of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbipyridine (dtbpy) and olefin-ligated iridium halide or olefin-ligated iridium alkoxide complexes. This work identifies the catalyst resting state as [Ir(dtbpy)(COE)(Bpin)3] (COE = cyclooctene, Bpin = 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolanyl). [Ir(dtbpy)(COE)(Bpin)3] was prepared by independent synthesis in high yield from [Ir(COD)(OMe)] 2, dtbpy, COE, and HBpin. This complex is formed in low yield from [Ir(COD)(OMe)]2, dtbpy, COE, and B2pin2. Kinetic studies show that this complex reacts with arenes after reversible dissociation of COE. An alternative mechanism in which the arene reacts with the Ir(I) complex [Ir(dtbpy)Bpin] after dissociation of COE and reductive elimination of B2pin2 does not occur to a measurable extent. The reaction of [Ir(dtbpy)(COE)(Bpin)3] with arenes and the catalytic reaction of B2pin2 with arenes catalyzed by [Ir(COD)(OMe)]2 and dtbpy occur faster with electron-poor arenes than with electron-rich arenes. However, both the stoichiometric and catalytic reactions also occur faster with the electron-rich heteroarenes thiophene and furan than with arenes, perhaps because η2-heteroarene complexes are more stable than the η2-arene complexes and the η2-heteroarene or arene complexes are intermediates that precede oxidative addition. Kinetic studies on the catalytic reaction show that [Ir(dtbpy)(COE)(Bpin)3] enters the catalytic cycle by dissociation of COE, and a comparison of the kinetic isotope effects of the catalytic and stoichiometric reactions shows that the reactive intermediate [Ir(dtbpy)(Bpin)3] cleaves the arene C-H bond. The barriers for ligand exchange and C-H activation allow an experimental assessment of several conclusions drawn from computational work. Most generally, our results corroborate the conclusion that C-H bond cleavage is turnover-limiting, but the experimental barrier for this bond cleavage is much lower than the calculated barrier.

The present invention provides an economically and industrially superior simple process that enables the selective production of an aromatic heterocyclic monoboron compound and aromatic heterocyclic diboron compound at a satisfactory yield and in a desired ratio by reacting an aromatic heterocyclic compound and a boron compound in a single step under mild conditions while changing only the charged ratios of the raw materials. The present invention provides a production process of a heteroaryl mono- or diboron compound comprising an aromatic heterocyclic compound and a boron compound in the form of bis(pinacolate)diboron or pinacolate diborane in the presence of a iridium-containing catalyst and a ligand such as a bipyridyl ligand.

- Iridium-catalyzed C-H coupling reaction of heteroaromatic compounds with bis(pinacolato)diboron: Regioselective synthesis of heteroarylboronates
-
The C-H coupling of aromatic heterocycles with bis(pinacolato)diboron was carried out in octane at 80-100°C in the presence of a 1/2[IrCl(COD)]2-(4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine) catalyst (3 mol%). The reactions of five-membered substrates such as thiophene, furan, pyrrole, and their benzo-fused derivatives exclusively produced 2-borylated products, whereas those of six-membered heterocycles including pyridine and quinoline selectively occurred at the 3-position. Regioselective synthesis of bis(boryl)heteroaromatics was also achieved by using an almost equimolar amount of substrates and the diboron.
