Abstract
Cyclic triolborates possessing a heteroaromatic ring on the boron atom [ArB(OCH2)3CHCH3]M (M=K, Na, Li) were prepared in high yields from heteroarylboronic acids, 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane (triol) and KOH or NaH. The corresponding lithium salts were synthesized from aryllithiums, B(OMe)3 and triol. They were air-stable white solids that were convenient for handling in air. High performance of these triolborates for metal-catalyzed bond-forming reactions was demonstrated in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with haloarenes. Although the use of heteroarylboronic acids often results in very low yields due to competitive hydrolytic B-C bond cleavage with water under typical conditions using aqueous bases, triolborates possessing a 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl or 2-thiophenyl ring afforded biaryls in high yields at 50-120 ˚C in anhydrous DMF. There was a strong accelerating effect of CuI for reactions of 2- and 3-pyridylborate derivatives, whereas 2-thiophenyl derivatives reacted smoothly resulting in high yields in the absence of CuI.INTRODUCTION
Heteroaromatic biaryls are an important class of compounds due to the frequent occurrence of these fragments in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional organic materials.1
Cross-coupling reaction between arylmetal compounds and aryl electrophiles is a recent variant of traditional Ullman coupling for the synthesis of such biaryls. Although this protocol, which has been extensively studied in the past three decades, is now accessible with a variety of organometallic reagents and electrophiles,2 interest has recently been shown in the use of nonmetallic boron compounds because of their high stability in air and water and compatibility with a broad range of functional groups. The covalent C-B bond of organoboronic acids is generally inert to transmetalation to transition metal complexes. Thus, nucleophilic tetracoordinated anionic complexes have been used successfully for metal-catalyzed bond-forming reactions of organoboron compounds.2,3 There are attempts at synthesizing stable ate-complexes such as [RBF3]M (M=K, NR4),4 [RB(OH)3]Na,5 ArB(OR)3Li,6 [RC≡CBR’2(OR)]Li,7,8 and [Ar4B]Na9 to overcome the limitations of in situ preparation of such ate-complexes from organoboranes and aqueous bases. Recently, we have developed ate-complexes, alkali metal cyclic triolborates that have exceptionally high levels of stability in air and water and reasonable solubility in organic solvents. High performance for bond-forming reactions was demonstrated in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling,10 copper-catalyzed N-arylation11 and rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition.12 Cross-couplings of heteroaromatic rings result in high yields in reactions between typical arylboronic acids and haloheteroarenes, but a reverse combination between heteroarylboronic acids and haloarenes often fails to give biaryls. This is mainly due to high sensitively of the B-C bond of electron-deficient heteroaryl rings to hydrolytic B-C bond cleavage with water,13 especially the B-C bonds adjacent to a nitrogen atom such as 2-pyridylboronic acid undergo very rapid cleavage. A recent advance in this field is the use of pinacol esters or diethanolamine esters of heteroarylboronic acids, which are more insensitive to water than are those of boronic acids.14 We describe herein cross-coupling reaction of heteroaryltriolborates with haloarenes for the synthesis of biaryls (Scheme 1). Biaryls possessing a heteroaryl ring were obtained in high yields when the reaction was conducted in anhydrous DMF.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Synthesis of heteroaryltriolborates: We have reported two methods for the synthesis of cyclic triolborates.10 Azeotropic removal of water upon treatment of 3-pyridylboronic acid (4) or 2-benzothiophenylboronic acid (6) with 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane (triol) gave an ester intermediate (5 or 7). They were easily converted into triolborate (1a or 1b) by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide or metal hydride (Scheme 2).
The corresponding lithium salts (1c-f) were synthesized by alkylation of B(OiPr)3 with aryllithiums, followed by ester exchange with triol (Scheme 3). By removing i-PrOH in vacuo from this mixture, arylboronates (1c-f) were obtained in high yields as air-stable white solids. This protocol afforded high yields for 2-pyridylboronates sensitive to B-C bond cleavage with water (1e and 1f).
Scope and limitation: Cross-coupling reaction of potassium, sodium or lithium triolborates (2 eq) with aryl halides in anhydrous DMF gave biaryls in high yields (Table 1).
The presence of CuI was effective for increasing the coupling yields of 3-pyridyl- (1a), 2-pyridyl- (1e) and 6-methyl-2-pyridylborate (1f) (entries 1, 5-12), whereas it had no effect for more electron-rich 6-methoxy-3-pyridylborate (1d) (entry 4). The reaction of 1d proceeded smoothly at 50 ˚C in the absence of CuI, but 1a, 1e and 1f required much higher temperatures (80-100 ˚C) in the presence of CuI. Thus, the results suggested that CuI requirement and temperature mainly depend on nucleophilicity of the pyridine rings. There has not yet been a mechanistic study; however, the rate of transmetalation2f and reductive elimination15, among the three processes involved in the catalytic cycle, can be slowed down by decreasing the electron density on aromatic rings. The yields were generally increased by increasing the amount of CuI (entries 5-7). On the other hand, both 2-thiophenyl- (1c) and 2-benzothiophenylborate (1b) reacted smoothly at 50 ˚C in the absence of CuI (entries 2 and 3). Thus, electron-deficient 2- and 3-pyridylborate derivatives required CuI as a co-catalyst. The role of CuI is not known; however, such an effect of copper salts has been successfully utilized in analogous coupling reactions of heteroarylboron compounds.14d-g In a preliminary study on the effects of catalysts, coupling between 4-tolyltriolborate (1, Ar=4-methylphenyl) and 4-trifluorobromobenzene at room temperature in aqueous DMF showed the following ligand effects: dppf (63%) < (t-Bu)3P (70%) < Ph3P (81%) < XantPhos (90%) < JohnPhos (95%). Although the best ligand for each combination of two aryl rings did not show clear correlation with chemical property of triolborates or haloarenes for oxidative addition or transmetalation, the best yield was obtained when Ph3P, XantPhos or JohnPhos was used for Pd(OAc)2. Under these reaction conditions, biaryls possessing a heteroaryl ring were synthesized in high yields. Bromides were used at 80 ˚C for substrates possessing an electron-withdrawing group (entries 1 and 5-9), but electron-rich 4-tolyl and 4-methoxyphenyl derivatives reacted very slowly at 80 ˚C. Thus, iodides were used at 100 ˚C for these two substrates (entries 10 and 11). 6-Methyl-2-pyridylborate (1f) had strong resistance for an unknown reason (entry 12), though unsubstituted 2-pyridylborate (1e) smoothly coupled with representative halides (entries 5-11).
In conclusion, our triolborates gave a simple access to heterobiaryls via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with haloarenes. Since such ate-complexes are key species for various ionic reactions of boron compounds, extension to other bond-forming reactions will be the topic of further accounts from this laboratory.
EXPERIMENTAL
General: All reactions were conducted under an atmosphere of nitrogen. Glassware was oven dried at 130 °C and allowed to cool under a stream of dry nitrogen. DMF was distilled from CaH2 before use. All chemicals were purchased from Aldrich, Wako, TCI, or Kanto Chemicals and used as received.
