Rhodium-catalyzed B-H activation of 1,2-azaborines: synthesis and characterization of BN isosteres of stilbenes.


ABSTRACT: The first example of catalytic B-H activation of azaborines leading to a new family of stilbene derivatives through dehydrogenative borylation is reported. Ten 1,2-azaborine-based BN isosteres of stilbenes have been synthesized using this method, including a BN isostere of a biologically active stilbene. It is demonstrated that BN/CC isosterism in the context of stilbenes can lead to significant changes in the observed photophysical properties such as higher quantum yield and a larger Stokes shift. Direct comparative analysis of BN stilbene 3g and its carbonaceous counterpart 6g is consistent with a stronger charge-transfer character of the excited state exhibited by 3g in which the 1,2-azaborine heterocycle serves as a better electron donor than the corresponding arene.
