This review describes the gold-catalyzed reactions of specially activated alkynes, allenes,
and alkenes. Such species are characterized by the presence of either electron-donating or …

Isoxazole is an important pharmacophore that is critical for biological activity. The isoxazole
ring ranks 33rd in frequency among the 351 ring systems found in marketed drugs, thus …

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

Isoxazoles and their derivatives represent privileged heteroaromatic motifs, which exhibit
remarkable biological and pharmaceutical activities. Notably, metal catalyzed or mediated …

Conspectus Organoboron compounds and heterocycles are powerful building blocks and
precursors for organic synthesis, including for drug discovery and agrochemical and …

The first ring‐forming thioboration reaction of C− C π bonds is reported. This catalyst‐free
method proceeds in the presence of a commercially available external electrophilic boron …

This work showcases a new catalytic cyclization reaction using a highly Lewis acidic borane
with concomitant C− H or C− C bond formation. The activation of alkyne‐containing …

Isoxazole derivatives are aromatic five-membered ring heterocyclic compounds with one
oxygen atom and one nitrogen atom at adjacent positions. These compounds have a broad …

Background Design and synthesis of new inhibitor agents to deal with pathogenic
microorganisms is expanding. In this project, an efficient, environmentally friendly …

A metal-free radical cyclization/dehydrogenation cascade of alkenes with aldehydes has
been developed for the synthesis of 3, 5-disubstituted isoxazoles in a one-pot system. This …
