Published: March 2015

A 4,4'-bipyridine-based catalyst system for diboration of pyrazine derivatives was established. The catalyst cycle consists of the following two steps: (1) reductive addition of the boron-boron bond of bis(pinacolato)diboron to 4,4'-bipyridine to form N,N'-diboryl-4,4'-bipyridinylidene and (2) oxidative boryl transfer from the intermediate to pyrazine to give N,N'-diboryl-1,4-dihydropyrazine with regeneration of 4,4'-bipyridine.

The dinoflagellate-derived polyether prorocentin is a co-metabolite of the archetypical serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid. Whereas a structural relationship cannot be missed and a biosynthetic link was proposed, it is currently unknown whether there is any parallel in the bioactivity profile of these natural products. However, it was insinuated in the past that the structure assigned to prorocentin might need to be revised.

The generation of in situ sp -sp diboron adducts has revolutionised the synthesis of organoboranes. Organocatalytic diboration reactions have represented a milestone in terms of unpredictable reactivity of these adducts. However, current methodologies have limitations in terms of substrate scope, selectivity and functional group tolerance.

The use of chiral alcohols to form the Lewis acid-base *RO(-)→ bis(pinacolato)diboron adduct, in situ, provides an opportunity to induce asymmetry in the organocatalytic diboration of alkenes and complements the well established transition metal-mediated enantioselective diboration.

The area of boron conjugate addition via diboration (β-boration) has grown rapidly since the first examples appeared in the late 1990s. This article aims to give a comprehensive review of the current advances in β-boration (of electron deficient alkenes), providing a commentary upon the development of the asymmetric version. To date, many mechanistic models have been put forward to explain the experimental observations and this review surveys some of these key ideas.
