The use of transition metals to catalyse the addition of hydridoboranes to unsaturated
organic molecules was initially realised several decades ago. Although this area of …

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 …

The formation of highly enantioenriched boronic esters through both stoichiometric and
catalytic methods has received much attention over the past decade. Accordingly, the …

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

Until recently, computational tools were mainly used to explain chemical reactions after
experimental results were obtained. With the rapid development of software and hardware …

The Zweifel olefination is a powerful method for the stereoselective synthesis of alkenes.
The reaction proceeds in the absence of a transition-metal catalyst, instead taking place by …

A highly regio-and enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydroboration/hydrogenation of
internal alkynes with HBpin and a hydrogen balloon in one pot was developed. A new type …

Despite the frequent occurrence of γ-branched amines in bioactive molecules, the direct
catalytic asymmetric synthesis of this structural motif containing a remote stereocenter …

Reported is a highly enantioselective copper‐catalyzed Markovnikov protoboration of
unactivated terminal alkenes. A variety of simple and abundant feedstock α‐olefins bearing …

Mechanistic studies of the copper-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of vinylarenes and
internal alkenes are reported. Catalytic systems with both DTBM-SEGPHOS and SEGPHOS …
