Synthetic study demonstrates stereoselective annulative coupling between vinylboronic esters and arynes, highlighting a versatile route to complex organoboron derivatives.
A stereoselective annulative coupling of a vinylboronic ester ate-complex with arynes producing cyclic borinic esters has been developed. An annulation reaction that proceeded through the formation of two C-C bonds and a C-B bond was realized by exploiting a 1,2-metallate rearrangement of boronate triggered by the addition of a vinyl group to the strained triple bond of an aryne. The generated aryl anion would then cyclize to a boron atom to complete the annulation cascade. The annulated borinic ester could be converted to boronic acids and their derivatives by oxidation, halogenation, and cross-coupling. Particularly, halogenation and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling proceeded in a site-selective fashion and produced highly substituted alkylboronic acid derivatives.
