LU Printed by Jouve (FR), 18, rue Saint-Denis, 75001 PARIS EP 0 694 549 A2 Description Field of the Invention 5 The present invention relates to a novel process for the synthesis of organohaloboranes and alkoxyorganoboranes, and especially to the synthesis of diorganomonohaloboranes and organodihaloboranes. Background of the Invention 10 Chloroborane complexes, the precursors to organohaloboranes, have been prepared by a variety of methods. See H.C. Brown, S. U. Kulkarni, J. Organomet. Chem. 1 982, 239, 23-41 . For example, lithium or sodium borohydride and boron trichloride give chloroborane-ether adduct according to the following reaction: ether 15 MBH4 + BC13 > 2 H2BC1-Et20 + MCI where M = Na, Li. See H.C. Brown, P. A. Tierney, J.Am. Chem. Soc. 1958, 80, 1552; H. Noth, H. Beyer, Ber. 1960, 93, 225; U.S. Patent No. 3,026,329. A mixture of borane-tetrahydrof uran adduct and boron trichloride form chloroborane-tetrahydrofuran adduct accord- 20 ing to the following reaction: THF 2 THF - BH3 + BCI3 » 3 H2BC1 • THF See D.J. Pasto and P. Balasubramaniyan, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1967, 89,295; D.J. Pasto and S. Kang, J. Am. Chem. 25 Soc. 1 968, 90, 3797. Borane-dimethylsulfide adduct (DMSB) and dimethylsulfide boron trichloride give dimethylsulfide chloroborane ac- cording to the following reaction: 2 Me2S- BH3 + Me2S- BCI3 -> 3 H2BCI-Me2S 30 See K. Kinbergerand W. Sierbert, Z. Naturforsch., B 1975, 30, 55; H.C. Brown and N. Ravindran, J. Org. Chem. 1977, 42, 2533; H.C. Brown, Inorg. Chem. 1977, 16, 2938. These chloroborane ether and sulfide adducts have been used in hydroboration reactions as described in detail below. Finally, gas phase reaction of diborane and boron trichloride gives dichloroborane according to the following reac- tions: 35 B2H6 +4 BCI3 -> 6 HBCI2 2BCI3 +5 B2H6 -> 6 B2H5CI See J. Cueilleron, J. Bonix, Bull. Soc. Chim., France 1967, 2945. Although these gas phase reactions were not conducted 40 for subsequent hydroboration reactions, they demonstrate that chloroboranes can be prepared in the absence of coor- dinating ether or sulfide ligands. Diisopinocampheylchloroborane (hereafter referred to as DPC) is a very useful chiral reducing agent for prochiral ketones and imines. DPC can be prepared from a-pinene and chloroborane diethyl etherate. H.C. Brown, PK. Jadhav. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1983, 105, 2092. A variation of this process using dimethyl sulfide chloroborane has been elaborated 45 by G. Birand A.O. King. G. Bir, D. Kaufmann, Tetr. Letters 1987, 28, 777; and A.O. King et al., J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 3731-3735. Brown purports to obtain high optical purity DPC through a two-step procedure. See U.S. Patent Nos. 4,772,752 and 5,043,479. In this procedure, diisopinocampheylborane, a moisture and thermally sensitive intermediate is isolated from the reaction of a-pinene and DMSB. Subsequent addition of hydrogen chloride gives the final product, DPC, as a so moisture sensitive solid, which is isolated from the solution. On an industrial scale this complicated process presents several technical difficulties including the handling of thermally-sensitive solids as well as the handling of moisture sen- sitive product. A.S. Thompson, in J. Org. Chem. 1992, 57, 7044-7052, and A.O. King, supra, have shown that solutions of DPC made from >70% ee a-pinene and DMSB or dimethyl sulfide chloroborane can be used in excess to achieve high optical 55 purity reduction products, without the need for the handling of the moisture sensitive DPC solid. Allot these processes for making DPC involve use of chloroborane-diethyl ether adduct, which is thermally unstable, or dimethyl sulfide chloroborane adduct, which is notoriously malodorous. Some of the ether and sulfide ligands cause problems in the formation and use of the organochloroboranes. For example, diorganochloroborane formed from a 2 EP 0 694 549 A2 haloborane-tetrahydrof uran adduct can cleave tetrahydrofuran rendering the borane compound unusable. Furthermore, the sulfide adducts leave a sulfur smell on the final product. Development of a method for hydroboration of a-pinene by chloroborane to form DPC without the use of ether chloroborane adduct or sulfide chloroborane adduct is, therefore, very desirable. 5 Summary of the Invention Accordingly, the present invention provides a process for the generation of diorganohaloboranes and organodihalo- boranes without the use of ether chloroborane adduct or sulfide chloroborane adduct. Diorganohaloboranes are useful 10 precursors to borinic acids and esters by methods known in the art. See D.S. Matteson et al., Organometallics 1984, 7, 1284-1288; H.C. Brown ibid. 1983, 2, 1311-1316; ibid. 1986, 5, 994-997. Organodihaloboranes are precursors to boronic acids and esters See H.C. Brown, Organometallics 1982, 1, 212. Generally, the present invention provides a novel process for the preparation of organohaloboranes of the formula, R2R3BX (a diorganohaloborane) and RBX2 (an organodihaloborane), comprising the step of reacting in a single reactor is an olefin(s) and/or alkyne(s) with boron trihalide and diborane according to the following general reactions: 3R + 3R1 + B2H6 + BX3 -> 3R2R3BX 6R + B2H6 + 4BX3 -> 6R2BX2 20 wherein X is a fluoro, a chloro, a bromo, or an iodo group, R is an olefin or an alkyne and R1 is an olefin or an alkyne. R1 can be the same as or different from R. In the above reactions, if R is an olefin, R2 is the corresponding alkyl group. If R is an alkyne, R2 is the corresponding alkenyl group. Likewise, if R1 is an olefin, R3 is the corresponding alkyl group. If R1 is an alkyne, R3 is the corresponding alkenyl group. In the case of R2R3BX, R2 and R3 can be linked together to form a ring or bicyclic system, such as B-chloro-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane. The reaction can be run neat or in any 25 solvent compatible with the reagents and product. Examples of suitable solvents for a number of reactions under the present invention include the following hydrocarbon solvents: pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohex- ane toluene or benzene. Moreover, alkoxydiorganoboranes and dialkoxyorganoboranes can be prepared under the above general reactions wherein X is an alkoxy group. In the synthesis of such alkoxyorganoboranes, a dialkylborane (or tetraalkyldiborane) 30 may be added to the reaction mixture as a catalyst. Olefins for use in the above reactions have the general formula: 35 wherein R4, R5, R6 and R7 are any combination of hydrogen, an aryl group, an aralkyl, a branched alkyl group, an unbranched alkyl group or a cyclic group, such groups containing from one to ten carbon atoms. Alternatively, R4 and R5 can be linked by a Cn chain wherein n=2-10 or R4 and R6 are linked by a Cn chain wherein n=2-10. The aryl and 45 alkyl groups may comprise functionalities such as ester groups, ether groups, halo groups, silyl groups or nitro groups. The olefin group may also be a terpene from a naturally derived source. Alkynes for use in the present reaction have the general formula: R8C -s- CRCR9 50 wherein R8 and R9 are any combination of hydrogen, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, a branched alkyl group, an un- branched alkyl group or a cyclic group, such groups containing from one to ten carbon atoms. Alternatively, R8 and R9 can be linked by a Cn chain where n=8-15. The aryl and alkyl groups may comprise functionalities such as ester groups, ether groups, halo groups, silyl groups or nitro groups. 55 The present single reactor or "one-pot" process eliminates the need for coordinating ligands such as ethers or sulfides. The process generates substantially no waste by-products and can easily be run on a large scale. Particularly useful compounds for preparation using the present process are DPC, diisocampheylchloroborane and dicyclohexylchloroborane. Dicyclohexylchloroborane is useful for the preparation of boron enolates. 3 EP 0 694 549 A2 Detailed Description of the Invention As used in connection with the present invention, the term "alkyl" means a branched, an unbranched, or a cyclic saturated hydrocarbon group containing one to twenty carbon atoms; the term "aralkyl" means an co-aryl-alkyl group, 5 wherein the aryl group may be a phenyl group, a substituted phenyl group or any other aromatic ring system; the terms "halo" or "halide" mean a fluoro, a chloro, a bromo, or an iodo group; the term "alkyne" means a compound containing a carbon-carbon triple bond; the term "olefin" means a compound containing a carbon-carbon double bond; "enantio- meric excess" (or e.e.) is defined as the excess of one of a pair of enantiomers, usually expressed as a percentage derived from the formula: [(R-S)/(R+S)] x 100; the term "prochiral" describes an sp2 hybridized atom which upon con- 10 version to sp3 hybridization yields a chiral centre at that atom.

  • Synthetic Studies of Sodium Aminodiboranate Salts with Electron- Withdrawing Substituents
    SYNTHETIC STUDIES OF SODIUM AMINODIBORANATE SALTS WITH ELECTRON- WITHDRAWING SUBSTITUENTS BY CONNOR I. DALY THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Gregory S. Girolami ABSTRACT Magnesium diboride, MgB2, has the highest superconducting critical temperature of all traditional superconductors and is being considered for the fabrication of superconducting integrated circuits that can operate at higher temperatures than analogous niobium alloy circuits. A significant barrier to preparing superconducting MgB2 thin films, however, is that the films must be deposited below 300 °C to prevent Mg from subliming out of the film and causing loss of the superconducting properties. One approach to solve this problem is to prepare low- temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD) precursors which would enable deposition of MgB2 at temperatures low enough to prevent loss of Mg from the thin film. In chapter 1, we describe the synthesis of three new sodium aminodiboranate salts, Na(BH3)2NRR′, with trimethylsilyl groups on nitrogen. These compounds – sodium N,N-bis- (trimethylsilyl)aminodiboranate, sodium N-trimethylsilylaminodiboranate, and sodium N- methyl-N-trimethylsilylaminodiboranate – were prepared by the reaction of μ-aminodiborane(6) species with sodium hydride. IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 11B NMR spectra are reported for all of these compounds, along with the crystal structures of N-trimethylsilylaminodiboranate and N- methyl-N-trimethylsilylaminodiboranate. Comparisons of 11B NMR chemical shifts suggest that steric, inductive, and hyperconjugative effects of the substituents on nitrogen are all in competition in these systems.

Investigations of different hydroborating reagents and catalysts toward hydroboration present alternative to achieve organoborane ester with different stability, selectivity, and yield. Hence, a part of this study was focused on the preparation of heterocyclic hydroborating reagents with a single site available for hydroboration. Four reagents were prepared which included the well-known catecholborane (23) and pinacolborane (24) and the hardly studied 2,3-dihydro-1,3,2-benzodiazaborole (31) and 2,3-dihydro-1,3,2-benzoxazaborole (34). A study to utilize hydroboration to prepare allylic boronic esters using the four hydroborating reagent above was also undertaken.

  • A New Multifunctional Initiator System for the Living Cationic Polymerization of Vinyl Ethers
    472 Macromol. Rapid Commun. 21, 472–475 (2000) Communication: Combination of hexa(chloromethyl)- melamine (HCMM) and zinc chloride was found to be a multifunctional initiator system for the living cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether. HCMM was synthe- sized by reaction of hexa(methoxymethyl)melamine and boron trichloride. Characterization of the polymers by means of GPC and 1H NMR showed that initiation was rapid and quantitative and that the initiator is hexafunc- tional, leading to six-armed star-shaped polymers.

  • Boron Trichloride
    Material Safety Data Sheet 1. Product and Company Identification Product name : Boron Trichloride Chemical formula : BCl3 Synonyms : Trichloroborane Company : Specialty Gases of America, Inc 6055 Brent Dr. Toledo, OH 43611 Telephone : 419-729-7732 Emergency : 800-424-9300 2. Composition/Information on Ingredients Components CAS Number % Volume Boron Trichloride 10294-34-5 100% 3. Hazards Identification Emergency Overview Colorless poison gas with acidic odor. Nonflammable. Irritating and corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Exposure to high concentrations may result in burns to mucous membranes. Inhalation into the deep lung may result in dangerous retention of body fluid and swelling in the lungs (pulmonary edema) and chemical pneumonitis. Hydrolyzes into hydrochloric and boric acid in the presence of water or moisture. Contents under pressure. Use and store below 125 F. Potential Health Effects Inhalation : Boron trichloride hydrolyzes very rapidly into hydrochloric acid and boric acid in the presence of moisture. Slight exposure results in irritation of the upper respiratory tract and cough. Higher concentrations may cause inflammation and congestion of the lungs. Inhalation into the deep lung may result in difficulty breathing, chest pain, chemical pneumonitis and fluid retention with swelling in the lungs (edema). May cause shock, coma and death. Eye contact : Eye contact will cause severe irritation, inflammation, and painful burns. Burns may result in lesions and blindness. PERSONS WITH POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO BORON TRICHLORIDE SHOULD NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES. Skin contact : Low concentrations may cause “stinging” of the skin. Severe burns may result at higher concentrations. Inorganic acid-like burns and corrosive action will occur at high concentrations resulting in lesions and early necrosis.
