ortho-Bromo- and ortho-Iodophenylboronic Acids—Remarkable Organocatalysts for the Mild and Atom-Economical, Direct Amidation and Diels–Alder Reactions

Dennis Hall and co-workers have recently disclosed the remarkable ability of ortho-bromo- and ortho-iodophenylboronic acids, [2-BrC6H4B(OH)2] and [2-IC6H4B(OH)2], to catalyze the direct amidation of free carboxylic acids with amines and the Diels–Alder reaction of free alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids with simple dienes. The noteworthy features of this discovery are:

 

  • 2-BrC6H4B(OH)2 and 2-IC6H4B(OH)2 are better catalysts for the direct amidation than the hitherto most efficient catalyst for the reaction, namely 3,4,5 F3C6H2B(OH)2.
  • Both reactions take place at room temperature in an atom-economical, byproduct-free fashion.
  • Both are operationally simple affording the pure products after a simple filtration and acid–base extractions (no chromatographic separations required).
  • The boronic acid catalyst is recovered from the basic aqueous phase in high yield.
  • The direct amidation reaction is broad in scope, and the Diels–Alder reaction remarkably selective.
  • The two reactions can be combined in an efficient, one-pot, two-step cascade sequence that is promoted by a single catalyst. Read More
