Iversen, David J. D. Wilson*[a] and Jason L. Dutton*[a] Abstract: A computational study has been carried out to derivative that may approach the stability of isolobal (and examine the feasibility of generating a simple monocyclic isolatable) borole rings, as evaluated by HOMO-LUMO and cyclopentadienyl cation that may be sufficiently stable to singlet-triplet gaps. These Cp+ derivatives may therefore be an isolate and handle at ambient temperatures. Using judicious attractive target for synthetic isolation. placement of electron withdrawing groups (CF3) about the ring we have identified a Introduction The isolobal neutral boron centred analogues (boroles) have recently experienced a resurgence of interest.[12] The + + [13] The antiaromatic cyclopentadienyl cation ([C5H5] ; [Cp] ; 1) has pentaphenyl borole ring (4) was reported some time ago, but long fascinated synthetic and theoretical chemists alike.

However, as yet no isolatable monocyclic species compounds are indefinitely stable when stored under N2 or Ar and has been reported. The instability of the cation can be both species have demonstrated unusual and interesting [16-17] [18-22] rationalized from simple Hückel theory, where a 4- electron reactivity, such as H2 activation, reduction chemistry, triplet diradical is predicted (Figure 1).

For some bulkier derivatives a singlet ground state from [Cp]+, which is caused by the smaller electronegativity of is predicted due to Jahn-Teller distortions, but the very small boron in comparison with carbon in [Cp]+ (Figure 1).[12] The orbital singlet-triplet (S-T) gaps lead to substantial diradical nature and containing the contribution from boron (symmetric MO) rises subsequently these derivatives are not isolatable.[4-6] There was sufficiently in energy to yield a ground state singlet for boroles, an erroneous report in 2002 of the isolation of with localization of bonding (distinct C-C single and double bonds pentamethylcyclopentadienyl cation 2 as a surprisingly stable about the ring), and with the symmetric orbital centred on boron solid.[7] However, very soon thereafter the isolated material was becoming unoccupied.

  • Sulfur Bonded Unsymmetrical Borole Complexes: Synthetic, Spectroscopic and Biocidal Aspects
    SULFUR BONDED UNSYMMETRICAL BOROLE COMPLEXES: SYNTHETIC, SPECTROSCOPIC AND BIOCIDAL ASPECTS Taruna Pandey1, V. P. Singh2 and R. V. Singh1* 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur-302004, India 2 DSME, S.C.E.R.T., Varun Marg, Defence Colony, New Delhi-110024, India ABSTRACT Synthesis, characterization and biological activities of some of the unsymmetrical borole complexes containing B-S and B<-N bonds are described. The sulfur containing conjugated bases were prepared by the condensation of caibonyl compounds with thiosemicarbazide. The resulting complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determinations and spectral studies including IR, Ή NMR, "Β NMR and ,3C NMR. The spectroscopic results showed that the conjugated bases behave in a bidentate fashion, whereas, the complexes display a tetracoordinated environment around the boron atom as steriochemically active lone pair is also included in the coordinated sphere. The conjugated bases and their respective boron complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial properties. INTRODUCTION Recently, few references on bidentate ligands coordinated to boron through the azomethine nitrogen and the thiolo sulfur have been published in the literature1·2. These compounds are interesting in many respects. Some have got a number of applications in industry, biology and agriculture. Industrial applications of coordination compounds of boron have remained fairly limited. Boron analogues of carboxylic acids and peptides have been shown to possess interesting biological activities in particular as serine protease inhibitors3. Use of boron-nitrogen compound in neutron capture therapy of brain tumors have also been investigated4. Several organoboranes find promising applications in the synthesis of insect pheromones5.

Singh* Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur 302004, India. ABSTRACT Biochemical aspects, synthesis and characterization of some boron complexes of 2-hydroxy-N- phenylbenzamide (HOPhBenz) and its semicarbazone (HOPhBenz.SCZH) and thiosemicarbazone (HOPhBenz.TSCZH) are described. These derivatives were prepared by the reactions of 2-isopropoxy-4- methyl- 1,3,2-dioxaborolane, and 2-isopropoxy-4-methyl- 1,3,2-dioxaborinane with 2-hydroxy-N-phenyl- benzamide, 1-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)-l-N-phenylamino]hydrazinecarboxamide (HOPhBenz.SCZH), and 1-[(2- hydroxyphenyl)-l-N-phenylamino]hydrazinecarbothioamide(HOPhBenz.YSCZH) in a 1:1 molar ratio. In order to assess the increase of the inhibitor potency, (HOPhBenz), (HOPhBenz.SCZH), (HOPhBenz. TSCZH) and their boron complexes have been tested in vitro against a number of pathogenic fungi and bacteria at different concentrations and were found to possess remarkable fungicidal and bactericidal properties. The testicular sperm density, testicular sperm morphology, sperm motility, density of cauda epididymal spermatozoa and fertility in mating trials and biochemical parameters of reproductive organs are discussed. INTRODUCTION Boron chemistry has continued to provide the most novel developments in the field of coordination chemistry. Inorganic chemistry of boron is much more diverse and complex than that of any other element in the Periodic Table and this is due to the elucidation of tremendous range of bondin intractions. Several organoboranes find promising applications in the synthesis of insect pheromones'. Boron azomethine complexes of various ligands have been found to possess conspicuous biocidal activity2.

    PLANAR CHIRAL LEWIS ACIDS AND LEWIS PAIRS BASED ON FERROCENE by JIAWEI CHEN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Chemistry written under the guidance of Professor Frieder Jäkle and approved by Newark, New Jersey May, 2014 © 2014 Jiawei Chen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION PLANAR CHIRAL LEWIS ACIDS AND LEWIS PAIRS BASED ON FERROCENE by Jiawei Chen Dissertation Advisor: Professor Frieder Jäkle Organoboranes have been widely used for catalytic transformations, polymerizations, small molecule activation, anion and glycol sensing and construction of electronic materials. These remarkable applications commonly benefit from the electron-deficient nature of tricoordinate boron, i.e., its empty p- orbital can accommodate a lone pair of electrons or participate in conjugation of extended π-systems. Therefore, approaches to enhance the Lewis acidity of the boron center are desirable, and different strategies have been introduced with this aim, including (1) installation of electron withdrawing pendant groups such as pentafluorophenyl groups; (2) generation of cationic borenium species and (3) incorporation of tricoordinate boron into anti-aromatic systems such as borole derivatives. Recently, much effort has been directed to the preparation of the so- called “Frustrated Lewis Pair” (FLP) and the application of their unquenched relativity for catalytic transformations. However, chiral versions of highly Lewis acidic organoboranes remain scarce. On the other hand, planar chiral ferrocenes have proven to provide rigid frameworks for transition metal ligands such as ii phosphines and amines, which have been successfully applied to the asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes, ketones and other processes.

  • Unsymmetrical Borole Complexes of Monobasic Bidentate Benzothiazolines
    UNSYMMETRICAL BOROLE COMPLEXES OF MONOBASIC BIDENTATE BENZOTHIAZOLINES Taruna Pandey and R. V. Singh* Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur - 302004, India ABSTRACT The synthetic spectroscopic and biological studies of some unsymmetrical borole complexes derived from heterocyclic ketones and 2-mercaptoaniline have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis molecular weight determinations and spectral studies including IR, !H NMR, 13C NMR and nB NMR. The equimolar reaction between unsymmetrical borole and these benzothiazolines have produced [B(C3H<;02) (N^S)] and [B^HgO^ (N°S)] type of boron complexes. The spectroscopic results show that the benzothiazolines behave in a monobasic bidentate fashion rendering the non-metal tetracoordinated. The benzothiazolines and their respective non-metal complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial properties. INTRODUCTION Boron and its compounds have attracted the attention of a large number of chemists mainly because of the tremendous range of structural peculiarities and subtle types of bonding. Boron shows an astonishing number of structural polymorphs. Further, the synthetic flexibility of boron, which has a wide range of 'applications in various disciplines, has attracted a number of investigators in the field. Arene boronic acids show antiserotonin activity1. The toxicity to mice of a number of triarylboranes and their amine complexes has been investigated2. Recently, interest has also been sustained in the structural aspects of compounds containing boron - nitrogen bonds3"7. Benzothiazolines, which are biologically very active, constitute an important class of nitrogen and sulphur donor ligands8"9. The inherent biological potential of sulphur donor ligands prompted us to prepare unsymmetrical borole complexes of benzothiazolines.

  • Advanced 1,1-Carboboration Reactions with Pentafluorophenylboranes
    Chemical Science PERSPECTIVE View Article Online View Journal | View Issue Advanced 1,1-carboboration reactions with pentafluorophenylboranes Cite this: Chem. Sci.,2016,7,56 Gerald Kehr and Gerhard Erker The 1,1 carboboration reaction of a variety of metal-substituted alkynes with simple trialkylboranes R3Byields the respective alkenylboranes (Wrackmeyer reaction). The use of the strongly electrophilic R-B(C6F5)2 reagents allows for much milder reaction conditions and gives good yields of the respective bulky alkenylboranes from conventional terminal alkynes by means of 1,2-hydride migration. Even internal alkynes undergo 1,1-carboboration with the R-B(C6F5)2 reagents, in this case yielding alkenylboranes by means of C–C bond cleavage. Phosphorus, sulfur or even boron containing substituents can serve as the migrating alkynyl substituents in the advanced 1,1-carboboration reactions using the R-B(C6F5)2 reagents. Sequential 1,1-carboboration of geminal bis(alkynyl) derivatives of these elements with the R-B(C6F5)2 Received 1st September 2015 boranes yields boryl substituted phospholes, thiophenes or even boroles in quite a variety.

  • Boroles – Five-‐Membered Heterocycles with a Boron Atom – Are
    Boroles – five-membered heterocycles with a fundamental concepts of aromaticity and boron atom – are one of the more curious antiaromaticity.” families of molecule. They have four π-electrons, Using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance making them “antiaromatic” and, at least on spectroscopy, they showed that the unpaired paper, unlikely to be stable. Yet, synthetic electron is located on the boron, confirmed by chemists prepared them by bulking up the its reactivity as a boron-centred radical. groups around the ring, creating a shield of According to Mr. Wahler, there is still a lot of aromatic groups that stops them from work to be done: “Future work will include decomposing. If you add two electrons to a borole you increase the π-electron count to six – making them “aromatic”, and chemists have isolated this form as synthesis of related borole radical anions and well. The group of Prof. Holger Braunschweig other fancy borole derivatives - a job that is wondered: what about the missing borole with challenging but rewarding.” The results were five -electrons? π published recently in Angewandte Chemie, By pushing the protection of the boron atom International Edition. to the extreme and adding just one electron to the molecule, doctoral student Johannes Wahler Link to article: isolated the 5-electron borole, a radical anion.
