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 …

Organoboron compounds are valuable synthetic intermediates that find application in a
diverse variety of processes including both C–X and C–C bond-forming transformations …

The metal-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA) reaction has emerged as a
general and powerful approach for the construction of optically active compounds and is …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are cyclic carbenes bearing at least one R-amino
substituent. 1 The most common subclasses of NHCs are represented in Chart 1. Early work …

Non‐racemic chiral boronic esters are recognised as immensely valuable building blocks in
modern organic synthesis. Their stereospecific transformation into a variety of functional …

This comprehensive reference and handbook covers in depth all major aspects of the use of
N-heterocyclic carbene-complexes in organic synthesis: from the theoretical background to …

Presented is the first enantioselective copper‐catalyzed 1, 6‐conjugate addition of bis
(pinacolato) diboron to para‐quinone methides. The reaction proceeds with excellent yields …

Alkylboronic acid derivatives are interesting compounds in medicinal chemistry (eg,
bortezomib).[1] They are more often used as synthetic intermediates for transition …

In 1963 Shriver reported a metal-boron dative bond in a complex formulated as [(η5-C5H5)
2WH2 (BF3)]. 33 However, these findings were refuted around 30 years later when differing …

Organoboronic acids and their derivatives are useful reagents in carbon–carbon and carbon–
heteroatom bond formations. 1 In addition to having reasonable reactivities, organoboronic …
