Hoque, Emdadul Md published the artcileIridium-Catalyzed Ligand-Controlled Remote para-Selective C-H Activation and Borylation of Twisted Aromatic Amides, Name: 2-Methylbenzoic acid, the publication is Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2022), 61(27), e202203539, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
A method of para-selective borylation of fully twisted aromatic amides ArCONBoc2 is described, yielding boronamides 4-pinBC6HnX4-nCONBoc2 (X = alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, halo, CN). The borylation proceeded via an unprecedented substrate-ligand distortion between the twisted aromatic amides and a newly designed ligand framework, 4,5-diaza-9H-fluorene (defa) that is different from the traditionally used ligand (dtbpy) for the C-H borylation reactions. The designed ligand defa has led to the development of a new type of catalytic system that shows excellent para selectivity for a range of aromatic amides. Moreover, the designed ligand has shown excellent reactivity and selectivity for a range of heterocyclic aromatic amides. The identification of key transition states and intermediates using the DFT computations associated with the three regio-isomeric pathways revealed that the most efficient catalytic pathway with the defa ligand leads to the para borylation while in the case of bpy the borylation at the para and meta sites compete.
