A research group led by Prof. Dai Wen from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has realized borylation reactions involving N-heterocyclic carbene ...

Borylation encompasses a suite of methodologies for installing carbon–boron bonds, a transformation that has revolutionised the synthesis of organoboron reagents used in cross-coupling, pharmaceutical ...

National University of Singapore chemists have unlocked a way to achieve site-selective borylation of alkenes using earth-abundant iron-based catalysts to facilitate synthesis of high-value chemicals.

State-of-the-art borylation uses iridium as a catalyst for sterically driven C-H functionalization. It is highly reactive, and it is fast. But if you have a molecule with many C-H bonds, iridium ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The researchers trigger the reaction with violet light. First, there is an electron transfer from an oxidant, a N-alkoxyphthalimide ester, to the ...

Carbon–hydrogen borylation has emerged as a transformative strategy in organic synthesis, enabling the direct conversion of unactivated C–H bonds into versatile carbon–boron bonds. This approach ...

As awesome as Nature’s molecular machinery may be, it can’t accomplish many of the tasks routinely carried out by chemists. For example, chemists play with chemical bonds unknown to biology. Yet ...
