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 …

Donor and donor–donor carbenes are two important kinds of carbenes, which have
experienced tremendous growth in the past two decades. This review provides a …

Despite their wide use in academia as metal-carbene precursors, diazo compounds are
often avoided in industry owing to concerns over their instability, exothermic decomposition …

Donor/donor carbenes are relatively new in the field of carbene chemistry; although
applications in C− H and X− H insertion reactions are few in number, they demonstrate …

Transition-metal-catalysed carbene insertion reaction is a straightforward and efficient
protocol for the construction of carbon–carbon or carbon–heteroatom bonds. Compared to …

Enantioselective difunctionalization of alkenes constitutes an efficient strategy to assemble
complex chiral molecules from simple racemic or achiral starting materials. Here we present …

Enantiopure homoallylic boronate esters are versatile intermediates because the C–B bond
in these compounds can be stereospecifically transformed into C–C, C–O, and C–N bonds …

Tetracoordinate boron compounds are a highly important class of molecules, which are the
key intermediates in many organoboron-related chemical transformations and have unique …

Carbene insertion reactions with B–H bonds are a challenging but promising method for the
synthesis of organoboranes. Herein, we report visible-light-induced B–H insertions of HBpin …

Compared with the well-developed carbon-stereogenic chemistry, the construction of boron-
stereogenic compounds remains undeveloped and challenging. Herein, the previously …
