A combination of organoboron and radical chemistry generates unusual trans-selectivity in hydroboration of alkynes. The use of N-heterocyclic carbene boranes is key to the success of this chemical ...

Catalytic hydroboration has emerged as a versatile and indispensable reaction in modern synthetic chemistry. By utilising metal catalysts—from early transition metals and base‐metals to s‑block ...

(Phys.org)—Many industrially relevant reactions require either a precious metal catalyst or an Earth-abundant metal catalyst in a low oxidation state. A catalyst with a Fe(0) complex, for example, is ...

image: A series of amines, including synthetic challenging primary amines were synthesized with highly tolerance of other reducible functional groups. Mechanistic studies from control experiments and ...

The hydroboration reaction has a rich and venerable history dating back to its discovery in 1959 by the late H. C. Brown 1. Hydroboration in its simplest form is the addition of a hydrogen–boron bond ...

Organoboron compounds have been widely used to create new organic molecules since Prof. Suzuki, a 2010 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, developed palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions with ...
