For centuries, gold had been considered a precious, purely decorative inert metal. It was not
until 1986 that Ito and Hayashi described the first application of gold (I) in homogeneous …

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 …

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

Enamides, functional derivatives of enamines, play a significant role as synthetic targets.
However, the stereoselective synthesis of these molecules has posed a longstanding …

A new bifunctional pincer ligand framework bearing pendent proton-responsive hydroxyl
groups was prepared and metalated with Ru (II) and subsequently isolated in four discrete …

2. Background In 1957, Brown and Rao observed the regioselective addition of diboranes to
olefins at the least hindered carbon atom. 15 Diborane (B 2 H 6), the simplest borane …

Propargylic alcohols are readily available bifunctional (alkyne and hydroxyl groups)
synthons, which recognize as one of the attractive synthetic feedstock in organic …

Environmentally friendly acid-catalyzed ynamide N–Csp bond cleavage, skeletal
rearrangement and chemo-, regio-and stereospecific functionalization with nucleophiles are …

Alkynes are one of the most fundamental and diverse functional groups utilized in organic
synthesis. Over the past few years, the development of efficient synthetic methodologies for …

A catalyst-free oxyboration reaction of alkynes is developed. The resulting borylated
isocoumarins and 2-pyrones are isolated as boronic acids, pinacolboronate esters, or …
