Chiral organoboronates have played a critical role in organic chemistry and in the
development of materials science and pharmaceuticals. Much effort has been devoted to …

Organoboron compounds have important synthetic value and can be applied in numerous
transformations. The development of practical and convenient ways to synthesize boronate …

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 …

Suzuki–Miyaura (SM) cross-coupling is arguably the most widely-applied transition metal
catalysed carbon–carbon bond forming reaction to date. Its success originates from a …

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 long-standing challenge in synthetic chemistry is the direct, selective functionalization of
alkyl, alkenyl, and aryl CH bonds. Much research has been devoted to the selective …

Alkenylboranes have been vital reagents in modern synthetic organic chemistry, whose
carbon–boron bond is transformable into a carbon–carbon bond stereoretentively to give …

After the long-held assumption of the unreactivity of gold, numerous reactions catalyzed by
this noble metal have been increasingly emerging in the literature over the past 2 decades …

At the advent of cross-coupling chemistry, carbon electrophiles based on halides or
pseudohalides were the only suitable electrophilic coupling partners. Almost two decades …

Catalysis by gold has rapidly become a hot topic in chemistry, with a new discovery being
made almost every week. Gold is equally effective as a heterogeneous or a homogeneous …
