Cooperation between an alc. proton and boryl species in the selective gem-hydrodiborylation of carboxylic esters is described. The simple iron salt FeBr2 was used as an effective catalyst. Exptl. evidence suggests that the ester is initially hydrogenated with the alc. proton as the hydride source to provide an intermediate aldehyde, followed by a gem-diborylation with B2pin2 (bis(pinacolato)diboron) to selectively achieve gem-hydrodiborylation. The structure of the alkoxide used is important for chemoselective transformation of the ester functional group. When tert-butoxide is used, protonation of the iron boryl species to form an iron hydride species is rate-limiting, making hydrodiborylation of the ester selectively occur. When ethoxide or methoxide is used, the protonation of the iron boryl species to form an iron hydride species is relatively facile, making hydrogenation of the ester to an alc. selectively occur with the alc. proton acting as the hydride source. With NaOtBu as the base and EtOH as the proton source, various aliphatic esters like Et acetate were selectively converted to 1,1-diborylalkanes in the presence of B2pin2. Diverse transformations of the obtained 1,1-diborylalkanes exhibit the advantages of this methodol. for hetero multi-functionalization of ester functional groups for the synthesis of various value-added mols.
