The functionalization of C–H bonds in organic molecules containing functional groups has
been one of the holy grails of catalysis. One synthetically important approach to the diverse …

Transition metal-catalysed direct borylation of hydrocarbons via C–H bond activation has
received a remarkable level of attention as a popular reaction in the synthesis of …

Iridium-catalyzed C–H activation and borylation has become as a powerful synthetic tool in
the past few decades because of the widespread applicability and versatility of organoboron …

Iridium‐catalyzed borylations of aromatic C− H bonds are highly attractive transformations
because of the diversification possibilities offered by the resulting boronates. These …

A method of para‐selective borylation of aromatic amides is described. The borylation
proceeded via an unprecedented substrate–ligand distortion between the twisted aromatic …

We herein report the iridium-catalyzed enantioselective C–H borylation of aryl chlorides. A
variety of prochiral biaryl compounds could be well-tolerated, affording a vast array of axially …

We report a class of isolable bis‐cyclometallated iridium precatalysts (ImIr) and their use in
regioselective ortho− C− H borylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, acrylic, and aliphatic …

A new catalytic method for para borylation of unprotected anilines is described. The catalytic
method is developed by designing a new type of ligand framework that enables para …

Aryl sulfones and aryl sulfonamides are of great importance in organic synthesis and
medicinal chemistry. Although ortho‐C− H functionalization of aryl sulfonyl compounds has …

Transition metal photo-induced catalysts operating in a single catalytic cycle are preferable
compared with binary catalytic systems comprising both transition metal and photoredox …
