Herein, we use α-boryl iminium intermediates to access progressively depeptidized branched β-aminoboronic acids that are functionalized with biologically relevant heterocycles. We investigate the interaction of these novel compounds with carbohydrates under physiological conditions and demonstrate their potential as synthetic building blocks.
