Article Abstract

Chemoselective borylation of methane offers a promising route to organoboron synthesis. We report a porous zirconium UiO-MOF confined mononuclear iron(III) dihydride catalyst enabling efficient monoborylation of CH using HBpin at 185 °C to afford methyl boronic acid pinacol ester in 85% yield with a cumulative TON of up to 921.

Methane (CH), which is the main component of natural gas, is an abundant and widely available carbon resource. However, CH has a low energy density of only 36 kJ L under ambient conditions, which is significantly lower than that of gasoline (. 34 MJ L).

NHC boryl radical mediated halogen atom transfer (XAT) is useful in organic synthesis. Yet, most of the reaction ends only with reducing the halogen to hydrogen, that is, the C-X to C-H. This is especially dominant for electron-deficient alkyl halides, where the formed electrophilic radical reacts rapidly with NHC boranes.

The synthesis of compounds containing partially deuterated groups such as CDH lacks general methods. These compounds could be important for fine control of metabolic processes in drug discovery, or in the development of multifunctional probes for analysis by complementary spectroscopic techniques. Here, a convenient route to CDH-methyl ketones is reported through coupling of esters with bis[(pinacolato)boryl]methane and trapping with DO.

We report the development of an earth-abundant metal catalyst for methane C-H borylation. The post-synthetic metalation of bipyridine-functionalized zirconium metal-organic framework (MOF) with NiBr, followed by treatment with NaEtBH affords MOF-supported monomeric bipyridyl-nickel(II) dihydride species via active site isolation. The heterogeneous and recyclable nickel catalyst selectively borylates methane at 200 °C using pinacolborane (HBpin) to afford CHBpin in 61 % yield with a turnover number (TON) up to 1388.
