Abstract

The research presented herein explores a cobalt-based catalytic system, distinctively featuring a cooperative boron-centric element within its intricate ligand architecture. This system is strategically engineered to enable the integration of a singular carbon atom into aldehydes, a process culminating in the production of (Z)-silyl enol ethers. Beyond offering an efficient one-pot synthesis route, this method adeptly overcomes challenges inherent to conventional techniques, such as the need for large amounts of additives, restrictive functional group tolerance, and extreme reaction temperatures. Initial mechanistic studies suggest the potential role of a cobalt-carbene complex as a catalytically significant species and underscore the importance of the borane segment. Collectively, these observations highlight the potential of this system in advancing complex bond activation pursuits.
