The recent development of asymmetric organocatalytic C-C bond forming reactions involving organoboranes has attracted big interest in the synthetic community. Asymmetric organocatalytic additions to enones, aldehydes, ...

The applicability of Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) in organoboron chemistry has been explored through testing chemo-and enantioselective oxidations of a variety of boron-containing aromatic and vinylic compounds. ...

An efficient asymmetric synthesis of trans-4,5-disubstituted γ-butyrolactones from aldehydes and enantioenriched γ-carbamate alkenylboronates is reported. The cornerstone of this strategy is the implementation of sequential ...

The reactivity of boron-substituted furans as dienes in the Diels-Alder reaction with maleic anhydride has been investigated. Gratifyingly, the furans with boryl substituents at C-3 gave the exo cycloadduct exclusively ...

The Diels-Alder reactions of alkylhalovinylboranes have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Alkylhalovinylboranes presented higher reactivity than the corresponding dialkylvinylboranes. Although endo/exo ...
