  4. Oregon is Green and Pretty! ▪ Oregon is the 9th biggest US state by area (2.5 times smaller than TX) ▪ Oregon ranks as 27th US state by population (3.7 million, 7 times smaller than TX) ▪ Capital city is Salem, biggest city is Portland (600,000) ▪ Moderate climate: pleasant summers and rainy (but not overly cold) winters ▪ Two big universities: University of Oregon (Eugene) and Oregon State (Corvallis) ▪ Well known for beer, wine, agriculture, and tourism (skiing, hiking, camping)

  5. Boron-Containing Heterocycles are Important ▪ Theoretically relevant in studies of aromaticity Chiavarino, B. et. al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.1999, 121, 11204–11210. ▪ B–N bond is isoelectronic and isosteric with C=C, important for pharmaceuticals Morin, C. Tetrahedron 1994, 50, 12521–12569. ▪ Boron neutron-capture therapy (BNCT) for cancer Barth, R. F. et. al. Clin. Cancer Res.2005, 11, 3987–4002. ▪ Borazine is a precursor to BN ceramics Mokhtari, M. et al.Chem. Eur. J.1996, 2, 1269–1274. ▪ Borazine is a side-product in the use of ammonia-borane in hydrogen storage Marder, T. B. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2007, 46, 8116–8118. Faraday, M. Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London1825, 115, 440–466. Stock, A.; Pohland, E. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1926, 59, 2210–2215.

  6. Alkene Metathesis is the Key Synthetic Step Challenging aromatization, finally achieved with Pd black / cyclohexene: Conditions Yield DDQ / pentane / 35 °C / 24 h 14 % Pd-C / pentane / 80 °C / 16 h 31 % Ru-C / cyclohexene / 80 °C / 16 h 1 % Rh-Al2O3 / cyclohexene / 80 °C / 16 h 27 % Pd black / cyclohexene / 80 °C / 16 h 75 % (57 % isolated) Pd(PPh3)4 / benzene / 80 °C / 16 h 0 % Marwitz, A. J. V.; Abbey, E. R.; Jenkins, J. T.; Zakharov, L. N.; Liu, S.-Y. Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 4905–4908.

  7. B–Cl Bond Can be Nucleophilically Substituted Nucleophile Yield Li–Bu (butyllithium) 79 % 50 % Li–vinyl (vinyllithium) 76 % BrMg–Ph (phenylmagnesium bromide) 66 % Li–NMe2 (lithium dimethylamide) 80 % K–SCH2Ph (potassium benzylthiolate) 71 % K–OtBu (potassium t-butoxide) LiBEt3–H (Superhydride) 92 % Marwitz, A. J. V.; Abbey, E. R.; Jenkins, J. T.; Zakharov, L. N.; Liu, S.-Y. Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 4905–4908.

  8. Are 1,2-Azaborines Aromatic? To determine this, the authors performed direct structural comparison with: in order to evaluate the delocalization in the fully unsaturated structure: This study is analogous to the comparison of benzene with cyclohexadiene! is highly crystalline, so its analogs were used in the study. Abbey, E. R.; Zakharov, L. N.; Liu, S.-Y. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 7250–7252.

  9. Model Compounds Were Synthesized Divergently Abbey, E. R.; Zakharov, L. N.; Liu, S.-Y. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 7250–7252.

  10. Azaborine is Clearly Planar Abbey, E. R.; Zakharov, L. N.; Liu, S.-Y. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 7250–7252.

R.; Zakharov, L. N.; Liu, S.-Y. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 7250–7252.

  12. Finally, the UnsubstitutedAzaborine! Marwitz, A. J. V.; Matus, M. H.; Zakharov, L. N.; Dixon, D. A.; Liu, S.-Y. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, ASAP.

  13. NMR Studies Confirm Aromaticity ▪ Boron S = 3/2 1:1:1:1 quartet ▪ Nitrogen S = 1 1:1:1 triplet azaborine benzene borazine 8.44 5.63 d(N–H) 4.9 4.4 d(B–H) −8.76 −5.62 −2.02 NICS(0) −10.39 −7.27 −3.0 NICS(1) 34.1 21 RSE (kcal mol−1) 20.5 3.0 −119.0 DHf(kcal mol−1) Marwitz, A. J. V.; Matus, M. H.; Zakharov, L. N.; Dixon, D. A.; Liu, S.-Y. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, ASAP.

  14. N–H Bond is Protic, B–H Bond is Not Hydridic Marwitz, A. J. V.; Matus, M. H.; Zakharov, L. N.; Dixon, D. A.; Liu, S.-Y. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, ASAP. ▪ The study nicely illustrates the thought process 1) simple synthetic development 2) fundamental structural studies 3) the “holy grail” discovery ▪ Versatility in B-substitution in boron heterocycles, especially in azaborines ▪ Robustness of alkene metathesis protocols ▪ Use of Cr(CO)3 as a protecting group for the aromatic nuclei

  15. Notes on Preparing Effective Slides ▪ Design: be consistent, but rational ▪ Youare presenting! Make sure the audience notices both you and the research Avoid using laser pointer too much—it takes the focus away from you ▪ Slide Titles should be messages, not description of what you did “Compound A is Synthesized in 8 Steps” is an informative title “Synthetic Route towards Compound A” is not ▪ Use contrast to highlight differences in importance Human brain does not give any inherent meaning to color (except RED) ▪ Maximize “data-to-ink” ratio by minimizing “slide junk” Avoid bold arrows, borders, vignettes—they use space and convey nothing! ▪ Give credit where credit is due, preferably with pictures of people Small personal details make presentation engaging (but maintain balance) ▪ Do not thank your audience If your presentation was any good, they should be thanking you
