  abstract  = {A convenient and efficient one-step synthesis of 1,1,1-triborylalkanes was achieved via sequential dehydrogenative borylation and double hydroborations of terminal alkynes with HBpin (HBpin=pinacolborane) catalyzed by inexpensive and readily available Cu(OAc)\(_2\). This process proceeds under mild conditions, furnishing 1,1,1-tris(boronates) with wide substrate scope, excellent selectivity, and good functional-group tolerance, and is applicable to gram-scale synthesis without loss of yield. The 1,1,1-triborylalkanes can be used in the preparation of α-vinylboronates and borylated cyclic compounds, which are valuable but previously rare compounds. Different alkyl groups can be introduced stepwise via base-mediated deborylative alkylation to produce racemic tertiary alkyl boronates, which can be readily transformed into useful tertiary alcohols.},

  abstract  = {We report herein the catalytic triboration of terminal alkynes with B\(_2\)pin\(_2\) (bis(pinacolato)diboron) using readily available Cu(OAc)\(_2\) and P\(^n\)Bu\(_3\). Various 1,1,2-triborylalkenes, a class of compounds that have been demonstrated to be potential matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2) inhibitors, were obtained directly in moderate to good yields. The process features mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance. This copper-catalyzed reaction can be conducted on a gram scale to produce the corresponding 1,1,2-triborylalkenes in modest yields. The utility of these products was demonstrated by further transformations of the C-B bonds to prepare gem -dihaloborylalkenes (F, Cl, Br), monohaloborylalkenes (Cl, Br), and trans -diaryldiborylalkenes, which serve as important synthons and have previously been challenging to prepare.},

  abstract  = {A nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic system has been developed for the borylation of aryl sulfoxides with B\(_{2}\)(neop)\(_{2}\) (neop=neopentyl glycolato). A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. The regioselective borylation of unsymmetric diaryl sulfoxides was also feasible leading to borylation of the sterically less encumbered aryl substituent. Competition experiments demonstrated that an electron-deficient aryl moiety reacts preferentially. The origin of the selectivity in the Ni-catalyzed borylation of electronically biased unsymmetrical diaryl sulfoxide lies in the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle, as oxidative addition of methoxyphenyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfoxide to the Ni(0) complex occurs selectively to give the structurally characterized complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(4-CF\(_{3}\)-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)){(SO)-4-MeO-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)}] 4. For complex 5, the isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(OSC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5-I was structurally characterized in which the phenyl sulfinyl ligand is bound via the oxygen atom to nickel. In solution, the complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(OSC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5-I is in equilibrium with the S-bonded isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(SOC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5, as shown by NMR spectroscopy. DFT calculations reveal that these isomers are separated by a mere 0.3 kJ/mol (M06/def2-TZVP-level of theory) and connected via a transition state trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(η\(^{2}\)-{SO}-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))], which lies only 10.8 kcal/mol above 5.},

  abstract  = {Catalytic C-X borylation of aryl halides containing two ortho-fluorines has been found to be challenging, as most previous methods require stoichiometric amounts of base and the polyfluorinated aryl boronates suffer from protodeboronation, which is accelerated by ortho-fluorine substituents. Herein, we report that a combination of Pd(dba)2 (dba=dibenzylideneacetone) with SPhos (2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6'-dimethoxybiphenyl) as a ligand is efficient to catalyze the C-Cl borylation of aryl chlorides containing two ortho-fluorine substituents. This method, conducted under base-free conditions, is compatible with the resulting di-ortho-fluorinated aryl boronate products which are sensitive to base.},
