Comprehensive Summary Cyclobutane derivatives have been recognized as useful
structural motifs in organic synthesis and drug design. With the revival of photochemistry, the …

Chiral cyclobutene units are commonly found in natural products and biologically active
molecules. Transition-metal-catalysis has been extensively used in asymmetric synthesis of …

Modular functionalization enables versatile exploration of chemical space and has been
broadly applied in structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of aromatic scaffolds during …

The construction of acyclic, non‐adjacent 1, 3‐stereogenic centers, prevalent motifs in drugs
and bioactive molecules, has been a long‐standing synthetic challenge due to acyclic …

The development of an enantioselective catalytic Suzuki–Miyaura reaction that applies to
meso 1, 2-diborylcycloalkanes is described. This reaction provides a modular route to …

Bis‐boronic esters are useful synthetic intermediates particularly as the two boronic esters
can be selectively functionalized. Usually, the less hindered primary boronic ester reacts, but …

Catalytic enantioselective functionalization of cyclobutenes constitutes a general and
modular strategy for construction of enantioenriched complex cyclobutanes bearing multiple …

A new strategy for the synthesis of highly versatile cyclobutylboronates via the
photosensitized [2+ 2]‐cycloaddition of alkenylboronates and alkenes is presented. The …

A cobalt‐catalyzed asymmetric sequential hydroboration/isomerization/hydroboration of 2‐
aryl vinylcyclopropanes was for the first time reported for the preparation of valuable chiral 1 …

A Pt-catalyzed enantioselective hydrosilylation of (Z)-1, 2-diborylethylene provides a 1, 2-
diboryl-1-silylalkane that can be used in catalytic cross-coupling reactions. Depending on …
