Annulative coupling of vinylboronic esters: aryne-triggered 1,2-metallate rearrangement.

A stereoselective annulative coupling of a vinylboronic ester ate-complex with arynes producing cyclic borinic esters has been developed. An annulation reaction that proceeded through the formation of two C-C bonds and a C-B bond was realized by exploiting a 1,2-metallate rearrangement of boronate triggered by the addition of a vinyl group to the strained triple bond of an aryne. The generated aryl anion would then cyclize to a boron atom to complete the annulation cascade.

Pure ground glass opacity (GGO) on chest CT: a rare presentation of lung metastasis of Malignant Phyllodes Tumor.

Lung is the most common target organ for distant metastasis of phyllodes tumor (PT), where the metastatic tumors are mostly seen as nodules or masses. We report here a rare case in which pure ground-glass opacity (GGO) was observed on chest CT about 3 years after the initial treatment of breast PT. After the lung lobectomy, we histologically confirmed that it should be diagnosed as a metastasis of PT.
