Low-valent-tungsten catalysis enables hydroboration of esters and nitriles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 17. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00041b. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the research presented herein, low-valent-tungsten-catalyzed hydroboration of esters and nitriles was investigated. Aromatic and aliphatic substrates were smoothly reduced to corresponding alcohol derivatives and N,N-diborylamines in the presence of W(CO)4(NCMe)2. Valuable derivatives were conveniently accessed by introducing a further functionalization process to crude hydroboration mixtures in one pot.PMID:38629636 | DOI:10.1039/d4cc00041b
