Enantioselective conjugate borylation

Schiffner JA, Müther K, Oestreich M

Abstract

"Chemical equation presented" Learn your ABCs! The asymmetric borylation in conjugate fashion has rapidly progressed in recent years if not months (see scheme, pin = pinacolato, TM= transition metal). This Highlight summarizes these breathtaking developments, including a mechanistic analysis. An outlook onto a future asymmetric organocatalysis is presented as well.
