Although known for over 90 years, only in the past two decades has the chemistry of diboron
(4) compounds been extensively explored. Many interesting structural features and reaction …

This review is a guided tour along the activation modes and reactivity of B–B, B–Si, B–N, B–
S, B–Se and B–P reagents, in the absence of any transition metal complex. Here are …

Multi (boronate) esters have been attracting increasing attention as versatile building blocks
for the succinct and precise synthesis of complex molecules. However, there are a limited …

Density functional theory (DFT) investigations revealed that 4‐cyanopyridine was capable of
homolytically cleaving the B− B σ bond of diborane via the cooperative coordination to the …

1, 2-Bis-boronic esters are versatile intermediates that enable the rapid elaboration of
simple alkene precursors. Previous reports on their selective mono-functionalization have …

A novel method for catalytic remote bismetalation of alkene substrates by the addition of
dimetal reagents is accomplished by using chain walking. In the presence of a palladium …

Alkyl pinacol boronic esters have been routinely used for the synthesis of complex target
molecules or high-value chemicals due to their non-toxicity, stability and commercial …

The base‐catalyzed allylic borylation of tertiary allylic alcohols allows the synthesis of 1, 1‐
disubstituted allyl boronates, in moderate to high yield. The unexpected tandem …

The enantioselective synthesis of bis-homoallylic alcohols through nickel-catalyzed three-
component fragment couplings of simple aldehydes, dienes, and aryl organoborons is …

Any attempt to facilitate a new generation of C–B bonds represents a useful tool in organic
synthesis. In addition, if that approach highlights the nucleophilic character of boryl moieties …
