Catalytic Boron Addition Reactions

Ana Belén Cuenca González, Elena Fernández

Research output: Book chapterChapter

Abstract

The use of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in metal-mediated and metal-free catalytic borylation reactions is described. Special emphasis is given to the activation mode of the borane reagent by a metal–NHC complex or an NHC itself, as well as its influence on the delivery of the boryl moiety onto unsaturated substrates to generate a C—B bond efficiently and selectively. Asymmetric induction can be achieved in borylation reactions using chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes and a detailed range of examples is highlighted.
