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 …

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 …

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

We report herein a simple, metal-and additive-free, photoinduced borylation of haloarenes,
including electron-rich fluoroarenes, as well as arylammonium salts directly to boronic acids …

Despite the widespread use of organoborane reagents in organic synthesis and catalysis, a
major challenge still remains: very few boron-centered nucleophiles exist for the direct …

Multi (boronate) esters have been attracting increasing attention as versatile building blocks
for the succinct and precise synthesis of complex molecules. However, there are a limited …

Lewis base adducts of tetra‐alkoxy diboron compounds, in particular bis (pinacolato)
diboron (B2pin2), have been proposed as the active source of nucleophilic boryl species in …

A Cu-catalyzed regioselective and stereospecific aminoboration of styrenes with bis
(pinacolato) diboron and O-benzoyl-N, N-dialkylhydroxylamines that delivers the …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are widely used ligands and reagents in modern inorganic
synthesis as well as in homogeneous catalysis and organocatalysis. However, NHCs are …
