Problems solved by technology

While the Sonogashira reaction is compatible with polar functional groups and water, it requires both dihaloarene and diethynylarene synthons, and is accordingly susceptible to the introduction of butadiyne defects in the PPE polymer, which defects are estimated to range from 1 to 10% even under the carefully controlled reaction conditi

[0100]Certain reactions involving alkynylboranes, alkynylboronic acid or alkynylborate derivatives, and alkynyltrifluoroborates are accepted. Reactions involving reagents that possess boron functionality at the 1- and 2-carbon positions of ethyne, however, have not yet been reported. This motivated the synthesis of [1,2-bis(4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethyl[1′,3′,2′]dioxaborolan-2′-yl)ethyne (B2C2). The 1H NMR spectrum of B2C2 is shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 depicts the 13C NMR spectrum of B2C2 in C6D6, and FIG. 3 depicts the 11B NMR spectrum of B2C2 in C6D6.

[0101]Reaction of dilithioacetylide with 2-isopropoxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane, followed by treatment with anhydrous HCl, cleanly afforded B2C2 in high yield (Scheme 1). B2C2 was recrystallized from hexanes, giving a robust crystalline solid (mp=270° C.) that is stable under ambient atmosphere for at least 1 year. B2C2 exhibited high solubility in basic water and virtually all organic solvents.

[0102]X-ray quality crystals of B2C...
