Although hydroboration of simple ketones and alkynes have been well-established, little is
known about the unique hydroboration reactivity for ynones, a family of important building …

The activation and functionalization of carbon–fluorine bonds represent a significant
synthetic challenge, given the high thermodynamic barrier to C–F bond cleavage …

An asymmetric 3‐component reaction between EthynylBenziodoXoles (EBXs), 2, 2, 2‐
trifluorodiazoethane and nucleophiles catalyzed by a CuI‐BOX (Bisoxazoline) catalyst is …

The use of stoichiometric organoborane reductants in organic synthesis is well established.
Here these reagents have been rendered catalytic through an isodesmic B–O/B–H …

Organoborane-catalyzed hydroboration of nitriles provides N, N-diborylamines, which act as
efficient synthons for the synthesis of primary amines and secondary amides. Known nitrile …

High oxidation‐state carbonyl coupling partners including esters and lactones were reacted
with enones to give aldol‐type products directly using two‐fold organoborane catalysis. This …

The diastereo-and enantioselective allylation of ketones remains a synthetic challenge, with
transition metal catalysis offering the most applied methods. Here, a boron-catalyzed …

Historically used in stoichiometric hydroalumination chemistry, recent advances have
transformed aluminium hydrides into versatile catalysts for the hydroboration of unsaturated …

This review highlights transborylation (controlled boron-boron exchange) and its
applications as a turnover strategy in boron-catalysed methodologies. Catalytic applications …

A systematic study of the entropic penalty for associative reactions is presented. It is shown
that computed solution-phase Gibbs free energies typically overestimate entropic …
