Two in two: Dioxygenation of alkenyl boronic acids has been achieved with N-hydroxyphthalimide. The two-step process involves etherification of an alkenyl boronic acid with N-hydroxyphthalimide followed by a [3,3] rearrangement. The dioxygenated product can then be hydrolyzed to form either the corresponding α-hydroxy ketone or the α-benzoyloxy ketone.

We present a tandem aza-Heck/Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of -phenyl hydroxamic ethers with readily available arylboronic and alkenyl boronic acids. This protocol is enabled by a palladium catalyst paired with chiral phosphoramidite ligands, particularly under mild reaction conditions, yielding efficient and succinct synthetic routes to chiral isoindolinones with high enantioselectivity. Furthermore, this reaction exhibits excellent functional group compatibility and a rich diversity of subsequent transformations.

Although the radical hydroboration of alkenes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) borane is well documented, the radical hydroboration of alkynes, especially terminal alkynes, remains challenging. Herein, a photoredox-catalyzed radical -hydroboration of alkynes with NHC borane has been developed, which provided various alkenyl boron compounds in moderate to good yields. This protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope, as both internal and terminal alkynes were compatible.

Allylic diboronates are highly valuable reagents in organic synthesis. Existing methods predominantly yield alkyl-substituted allylic diboronates, while the incorporation of electrophilic carbonyl groups conjugated to these allylic systems remains unknown. We present a strain-release promoted cycloaddition-based strategy that enabled access to unprecedented carbonyl conjugated secondary allylic diborons.

The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral alkenes remains a daunting challenge due to the lower rotational barrier, especially for longer stereogenic axis (e.g. C-B axis).

Ligand-enabled Ni-catalysed dicarbofunctionalisation of alkenes with diverse native functional groups.

The transition metal-catalysed dicarbofunctionalisation of unactivated alkenes normally requires exogenous strong coordinated directing groups, thus reducing the overall reaction efficiency. Here, we report a ligand-enabled Ni(II)-catalysed dicarbofunctionalisation of unactivated alkenes with aryl/alkenyl boronic acids and alkyl halides as the coupling partners with a diverse range of native functional groups as the directing group. This dicarbofunctionalisation protocol provides an efficient and direct route towards vicinal 1,2-disubstituted alkanes using primary, secondary, tertiary amides, sulfonamides, as well as secondary and tertiary amines under redox-neutral conditions that are challenging to access through conventional methods.
