ABSTRACT: A catalytic amount of an inorganic iron salt such as Fe(acac)3 catalyzes borylation of various aryl and heteroaryl chlorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron, where the presence of potassium t-butoxide is crucially important. The alkoxide is considered to produce in situ an electron-rich iron alkoxide complex as the active species. The reaction requires only an iron salt and potassium t-butoxide as promoters and is easily scalable. The arylboron compound prepared by this reaction can be further coupled in situ with an aryl halide under the Suzuki−Miyaura conditions. KEYWORDS: iron catalysis, aryl chloride, borylation, alkoxide, aryl boron compound

INTRODUCTION Aryl- and heteroarylboronic acid compounds have long been a focus of interest because of their utility as synthetic building blocks, for example, in Suzuki−Miyaura coupling.1 Chemists, therefore, have focused on transition-metal-catalyzed borylation reactions of aryl halides,2 among which iodides and bromides are frequently used. Although widely available and inexpensive, aryl chlorides have been found to be rather unreactive under palladium,3 nickel,4 and cobalt5 catalysis. Iron-catalyzed borylation6 of alkyl halides in the presence of an organometallic activator, t-BuLi7 or EtMgBr,8 which reduces iron to a lowvalent state, has been known for some time.9 However, such catalytic systems are ineffective for aryl chlorides (e.g., 5% yield for chlorobenzene).7 We report here that a catalytic amount of an inorganic iron salt such as Fe(acac)310,11 and two equivalents of potassium tert-butoxide12 enables bis(pinacolato)diboron to react with aryl chlorides in hot toluene to produce a pinacol arylboronate (eq 1). The reaction needs tert-butoxide as the

(pinacolato)diboron (2, 5.1 g, 20.1 mmol), and 1-chloronaphthalene (1, 1.59 g, 9.8 mmol) in toluene was stirred at 130 °C for 16 h under argon to obtain 1-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2dioxaborolan-2-yl)naphthalene (3) in 71% yield (1.76 g) after aqueous workup and silica gel chromatography. The starting material was completely consumed, and we also obtained a dechlorinated product, naphthalene, in 20% yield. Several reaction parameters have been examined and summarized in Table 1. In the absence of the iron catalyst, the reaction did not proceed at all, and 1 was recovered (entry 1). Interestingly, the nature of the iron precatalyst is unimportant, iron(II) and iron(III) salts giving the desired product in similar yields (entries 2−4). Ni(acac)2 and Co(acac)3 gave the product in low yield (ca. 20%), and Cu(OAc)2, and Mn(acac)2 were entirely ineffective (entries 5− 9). The reaction is sensitive to the nature of the alkoxide: KOtBu and LiOt-Bu gave the product in good yield (entries 2 and 10), KOMe in low yield (entry 9), and NaOt-Bu, KF, and K2CO3 gave no desired product (entries 11−13). The amount of base can be reduced to 1.5 equiv without a significant decrease in yield (entry 14). Aryl bromide and iodide were found to be less suitable substrates than aryl chloride (1-bromonaphthalene: 41%, 1iodonaphthalene: 20%), and the dehalogenated product (naphthalene) accounted for the rest of the product (eq 2). Efforts to identify the hydrogen source have been unsuccessful. An aryl tosylate reacted poorly (12%), and the starting material was recovered. With the optimized conditions in hand, we investigated the scope of the aryl chlorides (Table 2). 1-Chloro- and 2-

See the SI for details. bReaction with 10 mmol of the substrate. cBis(hexyleneglycolato)diboron was used instead of bis(pinacolato)diboron. dReaction temperature was 150 °C. eYield was determined by 19F NMR using trifluorotoluene as an internal standard. f Yield was determined by GC by calibration against tridecane as an internal standard.

chloronaphthalene gave the corresponding borylated compounds (3 and 4) regioselectively, which excludes the possibility of a benzyne intermediate. Bis(hexylenepinacolato)diboron gave the desired product (5) in similar yield, but other diboron reagents were ineffective (Figure 1). Nitrogencontaining heteroaromatic chlorides gave the product (6 and 7) in moderate yield together with recovery of the starting material. Biphenyl chlorides (8−12) reacted well at a higher temperature (150 °C), and electron-rich substrates (9) reacted with slightly higher yield than electron-deficient substrates (10). Meta- and ortho- substituted biphenyl chlorides gave the corresponding products (11 and 12) in lower yield together with recovery of the starting material, suggesting the sensitivity of the iron reactive species to steric hindrance. Polycyclic aromatic chlorides such as 2-chloroanthracene (13) and 1chloropyrene (14) reacted well to produce polyaromatic boronates of interest for the synthesis of conjugated molecules for materials science.14 Dechlorination accounted for the rest of the product of the present borylation reaction. Simple chlorobenzenes (15−17) reacted in a rather low yield, and an electron-rich chloride (15) reacted better than an electrondeficient chloride (16). For these reactions, the dechlorinated product (such as discussed for eq 1) was the main byproduct; efforts to suppress the competing hydrodehalogenation have been unsuccessful. In some cases, recovery of the starting material was observed (7, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17). Unreactive substrates are listed in Figure 1. Chlorinated heterocycles such as 3-chloropyridine, 2-chloro-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine, or 6chloroflavone gave no product, and the starting material was largely recovered. 5-Chloro-3-methylbenzothiophene gave the corresponding borylated product in 10% yield.

containing reactive functional group such as nitro, nitrile, and carboxylic acid gave no product. 9,10-Dichloroanthracene (18) underwent 2-fold borylation with 3.3 equiv of diboron reagent in the presence of lithium tert-butoxide at 130 °C to give a diborylated compound (19) in 45% yield (eq 3). The aryl boronic acid pinacol esters can be used without isolation for a subsequent cross-coupling reaction under the standard palladium-catalyzed Suzuki−Miyaura conditions.15 Thus, after the iron-catalyzed borylation of 1 was over, a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)4, potassium carbonate, water, and 9-bromoanthracence or 2-bromothiophene were added to the reaction mixture, which was further stirred at 110 °C for 16 h. After column chromatography, the desired products 20 and 21 were obtained in 73% and 62% yield (based on the aryl halide), respectively (eq 4). 3200

In order to gain an insight into the reaction mechanism, we performed the reaction in the presence of radical scavengers (eq 5). Although all the radical scavengers tested retarded the

desired reaction, this result does not unambiguously demonstrate the involvement of a radical intermediate, because TEMPO may promote decomposition of B2pin2.16 Moreover, we could not identify any TEMPO adducts at the end of the reaction. When the reaction was performed in the presence of TEMPO, the recovery of B2pin2 was not observed, whereas under the standard conditions without a radical scavenger (eq 1), a small amount of B2pin2 was observed at the end of the reaction; this also suggests the reaction of the boron compound with TEMPO. An attempted radical clock experiment failed because the reaction itself did not occur. In order to gain insight into the nature of the iron catalyst and rationalize why both iron(II) and iron(III) salts reacted equally well, we performed EPR experiments (Figure 2). The reaction of 1 with 2 was monitored to show that a similar iron species is generated from both Fe(acac)2 and Fe(acac)3 precatalysts. However, this experiment alone cannot distinguish if the observed species is the active species or a resting state. We propose a possible catalytic cycle in Figure 3. First, a ligand exchange between Fe(acac)3 (or an iron(II) precatalyst, see above) and excess KOt-Bu produces an iron ate complex A. A previous report by Uchiyama on iron alkoxide complexes13a suggests that the catalytically active species A may be an iron(II) butoxide ate complex. Complex A transmetalates with diboron17 to produce a boryliron ate complex B, together with alkoxy-Bpin. This complex B next reacts with aryl chloride (1) in a similar manner to iron-catalyzed cross-couplings.11g,h,18 Thus, after an initial one-electron transfer,12 an iron(IV) chloride ate complex (C) is formed,13b,18 which is stabilized by the alkoxy groups and possibly by the potassium countercation, and is in resonance with an iron(III) formalism C′.19,20 The following reductive elimination gives the product 3 and regenerates the iron(II) active intermediate through D. The

reactivity difference among aryl chloride, bromide, iodide, and tosylate can be explained by this mechanism. Thus, an aryl tosylate is simply unreactive toward iron alkoxide ate species A and B, as indicated by the recovery of a large amount of starting material. Aryl bromide and iodide, which gave a large amount of dehalogenated byproduct (eq 2), has a lower reduction potential and may directly react with the iron alkoxide A rather than with boryl iron B.

In an ovendried Schlenk tube, Fe(acac)3 or Fe(acac)2 (0.01 mmol), potassium tert-butoxide (0.21 mmol), and bis(pinacolato)diboron (0.20 mmol) were added. The reaction vessel was evacuated and refilled with argon, then 1-chloronaphthalene (0.10 mmol) and toluene (0.5 mL) were added successively. The resulting mixture was stirred at 130 °C for 1 h. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, it was transferred to an EPR tube, and the measurement was performed.

Bu and NaOt-Bu may stem from the difference in the iron alkoxide species involved.13 A mechanism where the iron ate complex A directly initiates electron transfer, followed by attack of an aryl radical to alkoxide-activated sp2−sp3 diboronate species21−23 is also possible.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

In summary, we have developed an iron-catalyzed borylation of aryl chlorides in the presence of KOt-Bu, which produces aryl boronic acid esters. The procedure is simple and easily scalable. The choice of the metal alkoxide is crucial for promoting the reaction, presumably because of the reactivity of alkoxy iron ate species and possible stabilization of a high-valent boryliron intermediate. Exploration of alkoxy iron ate species, largely unexplored catalytic intermediates13a in organic synthesis, is underway in our laboratory.

Iron-Catalyzed Borylation of Aryl Chlorides on 10 mmol Scale (eq 1). In an oven-dried 100 mL two-neck flask fitted with a reflux condenser, Fe(acac)3 (175 mg, 0.49 mmol), potassium tert-butoxide (2.3 g, 20.5 mmol), and bis(pinacolato)diboron (5.1 g, 20.1 mmol) were added. The reaction vessel was evacuated and refilled with argon, then 1chloronaphthalene (1.59 g, 9.8 mmol) and toluene (50 mL) were added successively. The resulting mixture was stirred under reflux at 130 °C for 16 h. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution (50 mL) was added. The organic phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 50 mL), and the organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate. After the solids were filtered off, the volatiles were removed in vacuo to obtain an oily residue. The crude mixture was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate = 97:3) to afford the desired compound as a colorless solid in 71% yield (1.76 g). General Procedure for Borylation of Aryl Chlorides (Table 2). In an oven-dried Schlenk tube, Fe(acac)3 (0.02− 0.04 mmol), potassium tert-butoxide (0.84 mmol), and bis(pinacolato)diboron (0.80 mmol) were added. The reaction vessel was evacuated and refilled with argon, then aromatic chloride (0.40 mmol) and toluene (2.0 mL) were added successively. The resulting mixture was stirred at 130−150 °C for 16 h. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution (3.0 mL) was added. The organic phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 5 mL), and the organic layer was passed over a pad of Florisil. The volatiles were removed in vacuo to obtain an oily residue. The crude mixture was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (typically hexane/ethyl acetate = 97:3) to afford the desired compound.

The reaction vessel was evacuated and refilled with argon, then lithium tert-butoxide in THF (1.0M) (1.3 mL, 1.3 mmol) and toluene (2.0 mL) were added successively. The resulting mixture was stirred at 130 °C for a 16 h. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution (3.0 mL) was added.
