Regioisomer Assignment by NMR Spectroscopy:
From gHMBC NMR experiments, the two regioisomers for
the borylation of 4-substituted benzonitriles can be distinguished
unambiguously as in FIGS. 1 to 10. In
isomer A, carbon atoms represented as C1 and C4 on the benzene ring, as
well as C7 (nitrile carbon) are the three quaternary carbon atoms in
the 100-170 ppm region (quaternary carbon C3 is typically not observed
due to broadening from and coupling with boron). These three quaternary
carbon atoms should show cross peaks due to long range H—C couplings (
3J
C-H),
which can be observed using gHMBC spectroscopy. In the gHMBC spectrum,
carbon atoms C1 and C7 should show one cross peak each to proton H
c, whereas carbon atom C4 should show two cross peaks to protons H
a and H
b. Therefore the resulting number of cross peaks for C1, C4, and C7 should be 1, 2, and 1, respectively.
In Isomer B, carbon atoms represented as C1′, C4′,
on the benzene ring, as well as C7′ (nitrile carbon) are the three
quaternary carbon atoms in the 100-170 ppm region (quaternary carbon C2′
is typically not observed due to broadening from and coupling with
boron). These three quaternary carbon atoms should show cross peaks due
to long range H—C couplings (
3J
C-H). In the gHMBC spectrum, carbon atoms C1′ and C7′ should show two cross peaks each, to protons H
d and H
e, whereas carbon atom C4′ should show only one cross peak to proton H
f.
Therefore the resulting number of cross peaks for C1′, C4′, and C7′
should be 2, 1, and 2, respectively. Hence isomers A and B can be
unambiguously assigned from gHMBC data.
For isomer A, with proton H
c unambiguously assigned by gHMBC, H
a and H
b can be assigned from their multiplicities. Proton H
a appears as a doublet, coupled to proton H
b with J≈2-3 Hz. Proton H
b appears as a doublet of doublets due to coupling to protons H
a and H
c.
Carbon atoms C2, C6, and C5 were then assigned from the correlations in
the gHMQC spectra. Carbon atom C7 (nitrile carbon) usually appears
around δ 119. Depending on the substituent, carbon atom C1 was usually
found shifted downfield around δ 130-170 (except in 4-iodobenzonitrile
for which it appears around δ 100). Carbon atom C4 is shifted upfield,
and was usually found around δ 100-115. Similarly, all the carbons of
isomer B can be assigned.
In the five membered heterocycles, the
4J
H-H coupling
was used together with gHMBC and NOESY1D spectroscopy to identify the
major isomer. Regioisomers in the fluorine containing benzonitriles were
assigned by
13C spectroscopy (with the help of the fact that
the boron bearing carbon is not observed due to broadening from and
coupling with boron). In the case of 1,3-dicyanobenzene,
1H NMR spectroscopy was employed to assign the major and minor isomers.
Experimental Details and Spectroscopic Data EXAMPLE 1 Borylation of 4-fluorobenzonitrile
General procedure A was applied to
4-fluorobenzonitrile (242 mg, 2 mmol) and HBPin (73 μL, 64 mg, 0.5 mmol)
with a reaction time of 8 h. The ratio of the two isomers in the crude
reaction mixture by GC was 11:89. Kugelrohr distillation furnished a
mixture of the two isomeric borylated products (88.5 mg, 72%) as a white
solid. The ratio of the two isomers in the isolated product by GC was
8:92.
13C NMR spectroscopy was used to assign the major isomer as 4-fluoro-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaboryl)benzonitrile.
