Questions And Answer

• Definition

  Bis(pinacolato)diboron is a covalent compound containing two boron atoms and two pinacolato ligands. It has the formula [(CH3)4C2O2B]2; the pinacol groups are sometimes abbreviated as "pin", so the structure is sometimes represented as B2pin2.

  ;

• Uses

  It is a colourless solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is a commercially available reagent for making pinacol boronic esters for organic synthesis. Unlike some other diboron compounds, B2pin2 is not moisture-sensitive and can be handled in air.

• Reaction

  1. Reagent used for the synthesis of aryl, alkenyl, allyl and alkylboronic esters.
  2. Reagent used for the borylation of an α,β-unsaturated ketones.
  3. Reagent used for the synthesis of precursors for conducting polymers.
  4. Reagent used for the synthesis of in vivo fluorescent probes.
  5. Reagent used for the diborylation of alkynes.

• Preparation

  Bis(pinacolato)diboron may be prepared by reacting tetrakis(dimethylamino)diboron with pinacol in acidic conditions. The B-B bond length is 1.711(6) Å.
  The B-B bond adds across alkenes and alkynes to give the 1,2-diborylated alkanes and alkenes. Using various organorhodium or organoiridium catalysts, it can also be installed onto saturated hydrocarbons: CH3(CH2)6CH3 + [pinB]2 → pinBH + CH3(CH2)7Bpin These reactions proceed via boryl complexes.

  ;

• Suzuki reaction

  In the Suzuki reaction, Bis (pinacolato) diboron has the advantages of high reaction selectivity, mild conditions, and high yield. For some compounds that are unstable or need to improve the selectivity of the reaction, Bis (pinacolato) diboron and aryl halide are used. React is a good choice.;
