Organoboron reagents represent a unique class of compounds because of their utility in
modern synthetic organic chemistry, often affording unprecedented reactivity. The …

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 …

A catalytic asymmetric conjugate hydrophosphination of α, β-unsaturated amides is
accomplished by virtue of the strong nucleophilicity of copper (I)-PPh2 species, which …

Despite the widespread use of organoborane reagents in organic synthesis and catalysis, a
major challenge still remains: very few boron-centered nucleophiles exist for the direct …

We report the synthesis of the monomeric phosphaborene Ar* P═ B (TMP)(2)(Ar*= 2, 6-bis
(triisopropylphenyl)-3, 5-diisopropylphenyl) containing 2-coordinate phosphorus and boron …

Simple ruthenium precursor [Ru (p-cymene) Cl2] 2 1 catalyzed regioselective 1, 4-
dearomatization of pyridine derivatives using pinacolborane is reported. Two catalytic …

This communication demonstrates the first catalytic aminoboration of C–C π bonds by B–N σ
bonds and its application to the synthesis of 3-borylated indoles. The regiochemistry and …

We report the phospha-bora-Wittig reaction for the direct preparation of phosphaalkenes
from aldehydes, ketones, esters, or amides. The transient phosphaborene Mes* P═ B–NR2 …

Photolysis of the cyclic phosphine oligomer [PPh] 5 in the presence of pentaarylboroles
leads to the formation of 1, 2‐phosphaborines by the formal insertion of a …

An efficient transition-metal-free protocol for the hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones
(reduction) was developed. The hydroboration of a wide range of aldehydes and ketones …
