| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The boron compounds are abundant but less effective for catalyst. We have synthesized a new boron compounds with cage-shaped organic framework with photo-sensitive moieties. The newly synthesized cage-shaped boron compounds acted as a catalyst for some organic reactions. The selective reaction of aromatic compounds over aliphatic compounds was accomplished due to the pi-pocket moiety around the boron center in the complex. Introduction of benzofuran moiety into cage-shaped borate led to the photo-sensitive catalyst. In fact, irradiation of UV light to the reaction of silly enolate with aldehyde in the presence of the benzofuran-based catalyst made the increased catalytic activity. Irradiation of black-light also increased the yield of the product. The synthesized complexes were fully analyzed by X-ray crystallography and theoretical calculation.
