Diisopinocampheylborane is an organoborane that is useful for asymmetric synthesis. This colourless solid is the precursor to a range of related reagents. The compound was reported in 1961 by Zweifel and Brown in a pioneering demonstration of asymmetric synthesis using boranes. The reagent is mainly used for the synthesis of chiral secondary alcohols.

Preparation

Diisopinocampheylborane was originally prepared by hydroboration of excess α-pinene with borane,[1] but it is now more commonly generated from borane-methyl sulfide (BMS).[2]

Structure, general properties, reactions

The compound can be isolated as a solid, but it is quite sensitive to water and air and is thus often generated in situ and used as a solution. Oxidation of diisopinocampheylborane yields isopincampheol.[3] It adds to alkenes and alkynes to form the corresponding alkyl- and vinyldiisopinocampheylboranes, where G is CHR and R is Ipc and H:

Diisopinocampheylborane is monomeric, in contrast to diborane and many of its less bulky derivatives that contain B-H bonds. Because of the large size of the α-pinenyl groups, diisopinocampheylborane does not hydroborate hindered alkenes but when it does add, it does so with high enantioselectivity, even for small L's. 2-Butene, 2-pentene, 3-hexene are converted with Diisopinocampheylborane to the respective chiral alcohols in high ee's. Norbornene under the same conditions gave an 83% ee, due to the additional steric effects involved. Hetrocycles (dihydrofuran, dihydrothiophene, dihydropyrrole, tetrahydropyran) give the alcohol in ≥99% ee; the high ee's reflect their constrained conformations.[4] In a highly stereoselective reaction, allyldiisopinocampheylboranes converts aldehydes to the homologated alcohols, rapidly even at -100 °C.[5]

The alkyldiisopinocampheylboranes, which result from the addition to alkenes, usefully react with a range of different reagents. Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid provides 3-pinanamine.[6] Hydroboration of 2-butene with diisopinocampheylborane followed by oxidation gives R-(−)-2-butanol in 87% ee.[7][7]

(isopinocampheyl)2BH + RCH=CHR → (isopinocampheyl)2BCH(R)CH2R

The resulting triorganoborane is oxidized with hydrogen peroxide]] to give the chiral alcohol HOCH(R)CH2R. Also useful is the reaction of diisopinocampheylborane with an aldehyde (RCHO) to give the chiral boronic ester, (isopinocampheyl)2BOCH2(R), which can be further used is a number of reactions e.g. Suzuki reaction.[7]

Diisopinocampheylchloroborane
Alpine borane

Treatment of diisopinocampheylborane with TMEDA give the crystalline adduct of monoisopinocampheylborane. This adduct reacts with boron trifluoride to liberate the monoisopinocampheylborane (IpcBH2) in 100% ee.[8] Monoisopinocampheylborane reacts with a variety of alkenes.[7] Two other reagents have been developed for the hydroboration of ketones:

In the above mechanism where G=O and R is Ipc and Cl or 9-Borabicyclononane. Diisopinocampheylchloroborane (Ipc2BCl) is produced by treating diisopinocampheylborane with hydrogen chloride. The chloride is reported to be more stable that the trialkyl boranes,[7] it works well with aryl alkyl ketones and tert-butyl aklyl ketones. Diisopinocampheylchloroborane is often complementary with diisopinocampheylborane, where one provides the R enantiomer and the other the S, the enantioselectivity is typically very high.[9][10]

Alpine-borane is produced by hydroborating α-pinene with 9-borabicyclononane.[7] Both of these reagents can be improved upon by using 2-ethylapopinene in place of α-pinene, 2-ethylapopinene has an ethyl group in place of the methyl in α-pinene. The additional steric bulk improves the stereoselectivity of the reduction.

Diisopinocampheylborane reacts with methanol to give diisopinocampheylmethoxyborane, which in turn reacts with an allyl or crotyl Grignard reagent to give B-allyldiisopinocampheylborane. This can then undergo an asymmertric allylboration to give a chiral homologated alcohol, which is a useful building block in a chiral synthesis.
