Selective uni- and bidirectional homologation of diborylmethane


Daniel J. Blair, Damiano Tanini, Joseph M. Bateman, Helen K. Scott, Eddie L. Myers and Varinder K. Aggarwal
Chem. Sci., 2017,8, 2898-2903

Abstract

Diborylmethane can be homologated uni- and bidirectionally by using enantiomerically pure lithium-stabilized carbenoids to give 1,2- and 1,3-bis(boronic esters).

Abstract

This feature article discusses the range of stereospecific transformations available to enantioenriched boronic esters, and their applications in synthesis.


Unveiling the role of boroxines in metal-free carbon–carbon homologations using diazo compounds and boronic acids

Abstract

By means of computational and experimental mechanistic studies the fundamental role of boroxines in the reaction between diazo compounds and boronic acids was elucidated.


Diastereodivergent combined carbometalation/zinc homologation/C–C fragmentation reaction as an efficient tool to prepare acyclic allylic quaternary carbon stereocenters

Chem. Sci., 2016,7, 5989-5994

Abstract

A new strategy has been developed to construct enantiomerically enriched allylic quaternary carbon stereocenters in a single-pot operation through a combined carbometalation/zinc homologation/fragmentation sequence.
