Article: Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of a novel thallium arylspiroboronate ester.(Report)

Introduction

The transition metal catalysed hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes has become a well-established technique in organic synthesis (1). One of the most active and selective groups of catalyst precursors for hydroborations using catecholborane (HBcat; cat = 1,2-[O.sub.2][C.sub.6][H.sub.4]) are those derived from addition of diphosphines to Rh(acac)[(coe).sub.2] (acac = acetylacetonato and coe = cyclooctene) (2). The actual catalyst resting state using these systems is believed to be a zwitterionic complex of the type Rh([[eta].sup.6]-catBcat)([P.sub.2]) (where [P.sub.2] = diphosphine), arising from the redistribution of substituents on HBcat. The ...
