Direct C−H borylation of arenes catalyzed by saturated hydride‐boryl‐iridium‐POP complexes: Kinetic analysis of the elemental steps

The saturated trihydride IrH3{κ3‐P,O,P‐[xant(PiPr2)2]} (1; xant(PiPr2)2=9,9‐dimethyl‐4,5‐bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene) activates the B−H bond of two molecules of pinacolborane (HBpin) to give H2, the hydride‐boryl derivatives IrH2(Bpin){κ3‐P,O,P‐[xant(PiPr2)2]} (2) and IrH(Bpin)2{κ3‐P,O,P‐[xant...

Sumario:The saturated trihydride IrH3{κ3‐P,O,P‐[xant(PiPr2)2]} (1; xant(PiPr2)2=9,9‐dimethyl‐4,5‐bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene) activates the B−H bond of two molecules of pinacolborane (HBpin) to give H2, the hydride‐boryl derivatives IrH2(Bpin){κ3‐P,O,P‐[xant(PiPr2)2]} (2) and IrH(Bpin)2{κ3‐P,O,P‐[xant(PiPr2)2]} (3) in a sequential manner. Complex 3 activates a C−H bond of two molecules of benzene to form PhBpin and regenerates 2 and 1, also in a sequential manner. Thus, complexes 1, 2, and 3 define two cycles for the catalytic direct C−H borylation of arenes with HBpin, which have dihydride 2 as a common intermediate. C−H bond activation of the arenes is the rate‐determining step of both cycles, as the C−H oxidative addition to 3 is faster than to 2. The results from a kinetic study of the reactions of 1 and 2 with HBpin support a cooperative function of the hydride ligands in the B−H bond activation. The addition of the boron atom of the borane to a hydride facilitates the coordination of the B−H bond through the formation of κ1‐ and κ2‐dihydrideborate intermediates.
