Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of using trialkylborane-amine complexes in Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions and to a process to form new carbon-carbon bonds in a Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction with a triorganoborane, which is carried out in the presence of an amine.

Description

New borane-amine complexes and their application in Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions
Field of the Invention
The invention relates to new amine complexes of B-organyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]no- nanes and to solutions of said complexes. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of using trialkylborane-amine complexes in Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions and to a process to form new carbon-carbon bonds in a Suzuki-type cross- coupling reaction with a triorganoborane, which is carried out in the presence of an amine.
Background of the Invention
The transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between organic electrophiles and organoboron derivatives to form new carbon-carbon bonds is known as Suzuki- type cross-coupling reaction (Miyaura, N.; Suzuki, A., Chem. Rev. 95, pages 2457 to 2483 (1995)). For example, triorganoboranes can be used as sources for a nucleophilic organic moiety that will be coupled to an organic electrophile in this Suzuki-type cross- coupling reactions. Readily available B-organyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (B- organyl-9-BBN's) are especially useful reagents in said cross-coupling reactions since the exocyclic alkyl group is coupled preferentially over the bicyclic 9-borabicyc- lo[3.3.1]nonane skeleton (Miyaura, N.; Suzuki, A. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1 11 , pages 314 to 321 (1989); Netherton, M. R. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 123, pages 10099 to 10100 (2001 )).
Hydroboration of alkenes or alkynes with 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) provides easy access to many B-organyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes. In favourable cases formation of the B-organyl-9-BBN via hydroboration of an appropriate alkene and the sub- sequent Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction with an organic electrophile can be conducted as one-pot synthesis with the two steps run consecutively in the same reaction vessel (e. g. Rodriguez, A. et al., Org. Biomol. Chem. 1 , pages 973 to 977 (2003)).
Owing to its dimeric structure 9-BBN forms a pyrophoric solid with only poor solubility in typical organic solvents (Soderquist, J. A.; Brown, H. C, J. Org. Chem. 46, pages 4599 to 4600 (1981)). These properties may hamper the large scale application of 9-BBN and so alternatives are desirable.
It is known that the 9-BBN dimer can be split by addition of certain Lewis bases and that in some cases stable 9-BBN-Lewis base complexes are formed (Brown, H. C. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, pages 7148 to 7155 (1982); Gazzetta Chimica Italians 117, pages 517 to 523 (1987)). However, the 9-BBN-pyridine complex (Brown, H. C, J. Org. Chem. 45, pages 846 to 849 (1980)) shows only a relatively poor ability to act as a hy- droborating agent (Brown, H. C. et al., Inorg. Chem. 16, pages 3090 to 3094 (1977)). Recently, new dialkylborane-amine complexes have been developed that are more suitable for hydroboration reactions and therefore give access to the corresponding trialkylborane-amine complexes or mixtures (WO 2008/055859).
It was an object of the present invention to develop new trialkylborane-amine complexes and solutions thereof. It was another object of the present invention to provide a new method of using trialkylborane-amine complexes in Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions. It was still another object of the present invention to develop a process to form new carbon-carbon bonds in a Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction, which is carried out in the presence of an amine.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes have chemical structures according to the general formula (1 ), wherein R1 is an organyl that is directly bound to the boron atom via two methylene groups and (1 ) exhibits a moiety of the formula >BCH2CH2- , i. e. R1 is -CH2CH3 or -CH2CH2-organyl. These preferred derivatives of (1 ) can, for example, be synthesized via hydroboration of terminal alkenes with 9-BBN or 9-BBN-amine complexes, owing to the well-known anti-Markovnikov regioselectivty of such hydroborations. Examples for these preferred B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes (1) have chemical structures according to the gen- eral formula (1 ), wherein R1 is ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl and octyl.
In cases where the organyl R1 is substituted at the -BCH2CH2- moiety the R1 group becomes more bulky and complexation between the amine and the triorganoborane might be hampered. In some cases a mixture of the new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine com- plex and the uncomplexed B-organyl-9-BBN is observed, in other cases there is no complexation at all. However, compositions comprising any amine and a B-organyl-9- BBN derivative can very often be used for further reactions independent from complex formation (see below).
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention the new B-organyl-9-BBN- amine complexes have chemical structures according to the general formula (1 ), wherein the amine is a compound according to the formula (2), wherein R3 is hydrogen or Ci - C4-alkyl.
Most preferred is an embodiment of the present invention where the new B-organyl-9- BBN-amine complexes have chemical structures according to the general formula (1), wherein R1 is -CH2CHs or -CH2CH2-organyl and the amine is 2-picoline, 2,3-lutidine, 2,4-lutidine, 2,5-lutidine or 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine.
The 11B NMR spectra of the new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes of the formula (1 ) generally show a broad singlet with a chemical shift δ between +10 to +35 ppm, indicating strong coordination between the amine and the trialkylborane moieties in solution. For example, the B-octyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2-picoline complex shows a 11B NMR resonance at δ = 26.6 ppm (cf. example 1 ).
The new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes (1 ) can, for example, be obtained via hy- droboration of an unsaturated compound like an alkene or an alkyne with 9-BBN or a 9- BBN-Lewis base complex (e. g. 9-BBN-THF or 9-BBN-dimethyl sulfide) followed by adding the respective amine of the formula (2) or (3) to the resulting B-organyl-9-BBN derivative. Alternatively, the hydroboration of an alkene or alkyne can be conducted directly with a complex of 9-BBN and an amine of the formula (2) or (3).
Another embodiment of the present invention is therefore a process to synthesize new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes of the formula (1 ), comprising the step of hydrobo- rating an alkene or an alkyne with a complex of 9-BBN and an amine of the formula (2) or (3) or hydroborating an alkene or an alkyne with 9-BBN or a 9-BBN-Lewis base complex followed by adding an amine of the formula (2) or (3).
If necessary, the hydroboration of alkenes or alkynes with 9-BBN or a complex of 9- BBN can be carried out in solution in the presence of at least one solvent. Preferably, complexes of 9-BBN and an amine of the formula (2) or (3) are reacted with alkenes or alkynes in organic solvents. Owing to the generally higher solubility of these 9-BBN- amine complexes in organic solvents compared to 9-BBN this allows for working at higher concentrations, thereby permitting higher loadings of reactors and avoids the difficulties connected with the handling of 9-BBN as a pyrophoric solid. The initial products of this synthetic route are therefore solutions of the new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes (1). These solutions can either be directly employed for further reactions or the new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes (1) can be isolated in pure form by evaporation of the solvent. The preferred method for removal of the solvent is evaporation under reduced pressure to decrease the boiling point of the solvent.
Another embodiment of the present invention is therefore a solution comprising at least one B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes of the formula (1 ) and at least one solvent. Suitable solvents for the solutions of the present invention are those in which the B- organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes have a high solubility. Examples are ethers like diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, sulfides like dimethyl sulfide or 1 ,6-thioxane and hydrocarbons like pentane, hexane(s), heptane(s), cyclohexane, toluene or xylenes. Preferred solvents for the solutions comprising at least one B-organyl- 9-BBN-amine complex of the formula (1) are tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfide, 1 ,6-thioxane, toluene, hexane(s), heptane(s) or cyclohexane, most preferred are tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, toluene, hexane(s), heptane(s) or cyclohexane. The solutions of the present invention generally contain the new B-organyl-9-BBN- amine complexes of the formula (1) in concentrations between 0.05 and 5 mol/l, preferably between 0.1 and 5 mol/l, more preferably between 0.5 and 3 mol/l.
Another embodiment of the present invention is a process to synthesize a solution comprising at least one of the new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes of the formula (1 ) and at least one solvent, comprising the steps of hydroborating an alkene or an alkyne with a complex of 9-BBN and an amine of the formula (2) or (3) or hydroborating an alkene or an alkyne with 9-BBN or a 9-BBN-Lewis base complex followed by adding an amine of the formula (2) or (3) in at least one solvent.
Still another embodiment of the present invention is a process to synthesize the new B- organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes of the formula (1), comprising the steps of hydroborating an alkene or an alkyne with a complex of 9-BBN and an amine of the formula (2) or (3) or hydroborating an alkene or an alkyne with 9-BBN or a 9-BBN-Lewis base complex followed by adding an amine of the formula (2) or (3) in at least one solvent and isolating the complex from the formed solution. Preferably the isolation is done by evaporation of the solvent.
The present invention further provides a new method of using the new B-organyl-9- BBN-amine complexes of the formula (1) in Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions to form new carbon-carbon bonds. The direct use of the new B-organyl-9-BBN-amine complexes of the formula (1) in Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions without the need to separate the trialkylborane from the amine is highly desirable for development of cost effective processes.
Moreover, it was found that in Suzuki-type cross coupling reactions with trialkylboranes as nucleophile the presence of an amine does not interfere with the catalytic cycle. It turned out to be irrelevant whether there is a complex formed between the trialkylbo- rane and the amine or not or if there is a dynamic equilibrium between the complex and the separated trialkylborane and amine species. This is of great value since trialkylboranes are easily prepared via hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes with dialkylborane- amine complexes, which are much easier to handle and have a much higher solubility than the corresponding dialkylboranes without any amine. Therefore, the crude product of the reaction between a dialkylborane-amine complex and an alkene or alkyne can be used directly in a Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction.
Therefore, a further aspect of the present invention is a process to form new carbon- carbon bonds comprising a Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction with a triorganoborane, which is carried out in the presence of an amine. Another embodiment of the present invention is a process to form new carbon-carbon bonds comprising the steps of hydroborating an alkene or alkyne with a diorganobo- rane-amine complex and using the resulting mixture of a triorganoborane and the amine in a Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction.
In one embodiment of the present invention the triorganoborane in these processes is a B-organyl-9-BBN derivative, e. g. B-octyl-9-BBN. In another embodiment of present invention the amine in these processes is a substituted pyridine of the formula (2) or an alkylamine of the formula (3) as defined above.
