Abstract

Copper(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of aryl diazonium salts with bis(pinacolato)diboron can proceed smoothly in the water phase at room temperature to give the corresponding arylboronate esters in good to high yields. The Sandmeyer-type borylation not only provides direct access to arylboronates bearing halo and acidic substituents, but also achieves a green borylation process.

Key words

aryldiazonium salts - pinacol arylboronate - borylation - Sandmeyer reaction - 4-carboxylphenylboronate ester

12 General Procedure for the Synthesis of 1a–n A solution of aromatic amines (20 mmol) in HCl (6 mL) in a flask was cooled to 0 °C and diazotized with 1.42 g (22 mmol) of NaNO₂. The temperature must be kept below 5 °C. After 15 min, the ice-cold solution of NaBF₄ was rapidly poured into the flask, which had been cooled below 0 °C. The temperature should remain below 5 °C. Powerful stirring was required to agitate the thick magma at this stage. After 30 min stirring, the solid was filtered with Büchner funnels. The crystal of aryldiazonium salts was washed with iced H₂O, with MeOH, and with commercial Et₂O

14 General Procedure for the Synthesis of 2a–n Aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborate salts (2 mmol) and B₂pin₂ (2 mmol) were resolved in MeCN (6 mL) and H₂O (3 mL). After the solution was clear, CuBr (0.1 mmol) was added. The resulting reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 5–6 h at r.t. The solution was then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with brine. The H₂O layer was extracted with EtOAc several times. The combined organic layer was dried over anhyd Na₂SO₄ and concen-trated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified on silica gel by flash column chromatography with EtOAc and hexane.
