Application

Methylboronic acid can be used as a reagent:
  • In the palladium-catalyzed Stille and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings.
  • In the microwave-heated heterogeneous palladium (Pd)-catalytized reactions.
  • In ruthenium (Ru)-catalyzed silylation reactions
  • To prepare bis(aminotropone) titanium (Ti) catalysts for ethylene polymerizations.
  • In the enantioselective asymmetric bromoaminocyclization and bromoaminocyclization using amino-thiocarbamate catalysts.
  • To prepare common building blocks for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
  • To prepare chrysin analogs by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions.
  • To prepare casein kinase I inhibitors.
  • In the divergent C-H functionalizations directed by sulfonamide pharmacophores in drug discovery.
  • In the synthesis of unsymmetrical monosulfides from disulfides via copper-catalyzed coupling with boronic acids.
  • In a palladium-catalyzed coupling with enol tosylates.
  • For derivatizing many carbohydrates and biologically active compounds for GLC analysis.

[reaction: see text] Herein we demonstrate functionalized enol tosylates to be robust substrates that undergo Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, and Stille cross-coupling reactions to provide stereodefined trisubstituted unsaturated esters.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of secondary allylic boronic esters with iodoarenes were demonstrated under the conditions previously described for the coupling of benzylic substrates. The regioselectivity of the process was largely dictated by the pattern of olefin substitution.

A facile and efficient enantioselective bromoaminocyclization of unsaturated sulfonamides has been developed using an amino-thiocarbamate catalyst. A range of enantioenriched pyrrolidines were prepared with up to 99% yield and 99% ee. The corresponding lactams could be obtained through oxidation of
