The Zweifel olefination is a powerful method for the stereoselective synthesis of alkenes.
The reaction proceeds in the absence of a transition-metal catalyst, instead taking place by …

This review discusses recent advances in the chemistry of saturated boronic acids,
boronates, and trifluoroborates. Applications of the title compounds in the design of boron …

An operationally simple deaminative borylation reaction of primary alkylamines has been
developed. The formation of electron-donor–acceptor complexes between N-alkylpyridinium …

Difunctionalization reactions of C–C σ-bonds have the potential to streamline access to
molecules that would otherwise be difficult to prepare. However, the development of such …

Azetidines are important motifs in medicinal chemistry, but there are a limited number of
methods for their synthesis. Herein, we present a new method for their modular construction …

The almost unexplored four-membered heterocycles azetidines, represent a particularly
interesting class of molecules, among the family of saturated nitrogen heterocycles …

The azetidine moiety is a privileged motif in medicinal chemistry and new methods that
access them efficiently are highly sought after. Towards this goal, we have found that …

Insertion reactions of carbenes or ylides with organoboronic acids or their derivatives have
emerged as valuable methods for coupling or homologation of organoboron compounds …

The reactivity of boronate complexes which resemble donor–acceptor cyclopropanes is
described. The enantioenriched cyclopropyl boronate complexes were shown to undergo …

The Matteson reaction is the nucleophilic displacement of a leaving group from the α‐carbon
of an alkylboronic ester. The reaction proceeds through an (α‐haloalkyl) boronate complex …
