The borane-catalyzed synthesis of quinoline derivatives bearing tetrasubstituted stereocenters from vinyl anilines has been developed. Mechanistic studies and quantum-mechanical investigations support the hydride abstraction/electrocyclization/hydride addition mechanism. The products were obtained in up to 99 % yield with a diastereoselectivity of >99 % in favour for the 3a-5-cis isomer.

The preparation of organosilanes is indeed far from trivial, despite their vast application. Herein, we report a straightforward and general hydrosilane iterative evolution system for the on-demand synthesis of heteroleptic-substituted hydrosilanes. A series of previously difficult-to-prepare hydrosilanes with two or three diverse substituents were readily obtained.

A highly stereoselective coupling reaction of diazooxindoles with difluoroenoxysilanes catalyzed by Lewis acidic boranes has been developed. The reaction proceeded at ambient temperature under transition metal-free conditions with wide functional group tolerance. By using this simple procedure, a series of tetrasubstituted monofluoroalkenes can be accessed in good yield with high selectivity.

A series of bench-stable Co(II) complexes containing hydrazone Schiff base ligands were evaluated in terms of their activity and selectivity in carbon-carbon multiple bond transfer hydrogenation. These cobalt complexes, especially a Co(II) precatalyst bearing pyridine-2-yl-N(Me)N=C-(1-methyl)imidazole-2-yl ligand, activated by LiHBEt, were successfully used in the transfer hydrogenation of substituted styrenes and phenylacetylenes with ammonia borane as a hydrogen source. Key advantages of the reported catalytic system include mild reaction conditions, high selectivity and tolerance to functional groups of substrates.

Silyl-heterocycles offer a unique handle to expand and explore chemical space, reactivity, and functionality. The shortage of catalytic methods for the preparation of diverse and functionalized silyl-heterocycles however limits widespread exploration and exploitation. Herein the borane-catalyzed intramolecular 1,1-carboboration of silyl-alkynes has been developed for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydrosilolyl and silylcyclobut-2-enyl boronic esters.
