Abstract
The synthesis and applications of carboxy-MIDA-boronate, a novel C1 building block, are described. This molecule is accessible via a ruthenium tetraoxide-mediated cleavage of commercially available ethynyl-MIDA-boronate. In the course of this study, carboxy-MIDA-boronate was found to possess ambident reactivity towards nucleophiles. Carboxylic acid derivatization produces a broad range of previously unknown carbamoyl-, oxycarbo- and thiocarboboronates. Carboxy-MIDA-boronate and its derivatives undergo condensations to access borylated heterocycles with boron at positions that are difficult to access using alternate methods. The resulting heterocycles participate in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, enabling entry into diverse bis(heteroaryl) motifs. The carbon monoxide-releasing capacity of carboxy-MIDA-boronate was also examined and applied in palladium-catalyzed carbonylation.
