Abstract

We present here an efficient method for the hydroboration of organic nitriles, carboxylic esters, and carboxamides with pinacolborane (HBpin) using an alkali metal catalyst, neosilyllithium (LiCH2SiMe3), in neat reaction conditions. The reactions were accomplished with efficient catalytic reactivity and demonstrated by neosilyllithium at room temperature, in solvent-free condition, to afford a high yield of the corresponding N-boryl amines, boryl ethers, and amine hydrochlorides. The protocol for the catalytic reaction presented in this paper is simple and efficient, with diverse substrate scope for nitriles, carboxylic esters, and carboxamides showing excellent functional group tolerance. DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations were also performed, showing that the hydroboration of nitriles catalyzed by neosilyllithium occurs through the pre-coordination of the nitrile at Lewis acid lithium followed by hydride migration from the B–H entity. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
