Transition metal catalysis that utilizes N-heterocyclic carbenes as noninnocent ligands in promoting transformations has not been well studied. We report here a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligand-promoted nitro deoxygenative hydroboration with cost-effective chromium catalysis. Using 1 mol % of CAAC-Cr precatalyst, the addition of HBpin to nitro scaffolds leads to deoxygenation, allowing for the retention of various reducible functionalities and the compatibility of sensitive groups toward hydroboration, thereby providing a mild, chemoselective, and facile strategy to form anilines, as well as heteroaryl and aliphatic amine derivatives, with broad scope and particularly high turnover numbers (up to 1.8 x 106). Mechanistic studies, based on theor. calculations, indicate that the CAAC ligand plays an important role in promoting polarity reversal of hydride of HBpin; it serves as an H-shuttle to facilitate deoxygenative hydroboration. The preparation of several com. available pharmaceuticals by means of this strategy highlights its potential application in medicinal chem. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 6-Nitro-1H-indole (cas: 4769-96-4Name: 6-Nitro-1H-indole).
6-Nitro-1H-indole (cas: 4769-96-4) belongs to indole derivatives. Indole exists overwhelmingly in the 1H-indole form as do other simple indoles. Due to this activity, the indole ring system has become an important component or intermediate in the synthesis of heterocycles.Name: 6-Nitro-1H-indole
