Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are key steps in a wide variety of catalytic
reactions mediated by transition-metal complexes. Historically, this reactivity has been …

Most of the chemical and biological processes involving the fixation and transformation of
small molecules have long been exclusive for metal complexes. Meanwhile, the last …

A two-step synthesis sequence furnishes quadruply annulated borepins in high yields. The
first step involves a nucleophilic substitution reaction between aryl–BF3K salts (aryl= mesityl …

Conjugated boron heterocycles have emerged as attractive synthetic targets due to their
potential in medicinal chemistry and as electronic materials. However, the development of …

Monomeric boroles have been gaining attention as reagents for the synthesis of
heterocycles due to their ability to insert atoms into the BC4 ring in a single step. Although …

Electron-deficient, anti-aromatic 2, 5-disilyl boroles are shown to be a flexibly adaptive
molecular platform with regards to SiMe3 mobility in their reaction with the nucleophilic …

Reactions of the anti‐aromatic pentaphenylborole with diazenes indicate that both the
substitution and the isomer influence the reaction outcome. With respect to trans isomers …

A new mode of aromatic metamorphosis has been developed, which allows thiophenes and
their benzo‐fused derivatives to be converted to a variety of exotic heteroles. This …

DFT calculations were performed to investigate the reactions of boroles with alkynes, in
which boranorbornadiene, borepin and/or boracyclohexadiene can be formed depending …

The reaction of the pentaphenylborole [(PhC) 4BPh](1) with sodium phosphaethynolate· 1, 4-
dioxane (NaOCP (1, 4-dioxane) 1.7) afforded the novel sodium salt of …
