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 …

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

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 …

Additions of homoelement-element and heteroelementelement linkages to unsaturated
substrates catalyzed by the platinum group metals constitute synthetically highly versatile …

The metal‐catalyzed hydroboration reaction provides access to functionalized organoboron
derivatives that cannot be easily prepared using traditional reagents. New developments in …

Homogeneous transition metal catalysed hydroboration reactions are discussed briefly,
providing the background which led to the recent discovery of metal catalysed diborations …

The addition of bis (pinacolato) diboron [(Me4C2O2) B–B (O2C2Me4)] to α, β-unsaturated
carbonyl compounds giving β-boryl carbonyl compounds and the addition to terminal …

The efficient addition of bis (pinacolato) diboron to α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds
with a copper− diphosphine catalyst has been carried out. A dramatic rate acceleration of …

Looking backward at the beginning of the new millennium, dramatic progress in the scope
and the accuracy of quantum chemistry can be seen, particulary when current applications …

Bis (boronate) compounds have been attracting much attention as versatile building blocks
