A comparative study of the relative effectiveness of various Ter2BX, such as dEap2BX, lEap2BX, 2-dIcr2BX, 4-dIcr2BX, and lCleap2BX along with dIpc2BX for the asymmetric ring opening of three representative meso-epoxides (cyclohexene, cyclopentene, and cis-2,3-butene oxides) is reported. Among all the reagents studied, 2-dIcr2BCl (78–80%) demonstrated significant improvement in enantiomeric excess over a previously explored reagent, dIpc2BCl (41%), especially for meso-cyclohexene oxide. Although all these three reagents, dIpc2BBr, dEap2BBr, and 2-dIcr2BBr provided comparable enantiomerically enriched 2-bromocyclohexan-1-ol (76–86%) from meso-cyclohexene oxide, the carene-based reagent, 2-dIcr2BBr showed considerable improvements in enantiomeric excesses in the cases of meso-cyclopentene oxide (67%) and meso-cis-2,3-butene oxide (78%) than those achieved with previously reported reagent, dIpc2BBr (57 and 61% respectively). The enantioselectivity of the reaction was observed to be highly substrate dependent. The present study represents a significant advance in asymmetric synthesis using the chiral organoborane chemistry.

The catalytic activity and high selectivity reported by bimetallic heteroscorpionate acetate zinc complexes in ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) reactions involving CO2 as substrate encouraged us to expand their use as catalysts for ROCOP of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and cyclic anhydrides. Among the catalysts tested for the ROCOP of CHO and phthalic anhydride at different reaction conditions, the most active catalytic system was the combination of complex 3 with bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium as cocatalyst in toluene at 80 °C. Once the optimal catalytic system was determined, the scope in terms of other cyclic anhydrides was broadened. The catalytic system was capable of copolymerizing selectively and efficiently CHO with phthalic, maleic, succinic and naphthalic anhydrides to afford the corresponding polyester materials. The polyesters obtained were characterized by spectroscopic, spectrometric, and calorimetric techniques. Finally, the reaction mechanism of the catalytic system was proposed based on stoichiometric reactions.
