The asymmetric hydroboration of alkenes has proven to be among the most powerful methods for the synthesis of chiral boron compounds. This protocol is well suitable for activated alkenes such as vinylarenes and alkenes bearing directing groups. However, the catalytic enantioselective hydroboration of O-substituted alkenes has remained unprecedented. Here we report a Rh-catalyzed enantioselective hydroboration of silyl enol ethers (SEEs) that utilizes two new chiral phosphine ligands we developed. This approach features mild reaction conditions and a broad substrate scope as well as excellent functional group tolerance, and enables highly efficient preparation of synthetically valuable chiral borylethers.

Borenium-Catalyzed "Boron Walking" for Remote Site-Selective Hydroboration.
J Am Chem Soc

Department of Chemistry, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers have developed a new method for remote functionalization that uses a borenium ion as a catalyst instead of traditional transition metals, addressing issues like metal residue and catalyst poisoning.
- The process allows for site-selective modification of molecules by enabling the "walking" of a boron group along a carbon chain, ultimately favoring the formation of α-borylation products.
- This metal-free approach shows compatibility with various functional groups and can facilitate the synthesis of unique compounds, including those helpful in creating bioactive molecules.

We report the stereoselective total synthesis of rhodocoranes I and J in 10 steps and 16.4% overall yield from ()-limonene. The synthesis was accomplished through the convergent assembly of a highly substituted chiral cyclopentanone and a lithiated furanyl silyl ketene acetal.

The use of diaryl-substituted vinyl boronates, a class of chemical building blocks with well-known synthetic utility, is principally limited by the difficulty faced in their preparation. Herein, we present a convenient synthetic strategy based on a gold-catalyzed Hiyama arylation of (Z)-β-(borylvinyl)silanes, which are easily accessible by hydroboration of silylalkynes. By exploiting the highly electronegative nature of the gold(III) intermediate (which is accessed by light-assisted oxidation using aryl diazonium salts), a selective activation of the silyl group in the presence of the boron moiety is achieved.

Flexible poly-Lewis acids (PLA) based on the tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) scaffold have been synthesised. Hydrosilylation of 4b,8b,12b-triallyltribenzotriquinacene and subsequent exchange of the chlorine substituents with weaker coordinating triflate groups afforded a novel triple silyl-functionalised PLA. By regioselective hydroboration of triallyl-TBTQ with various organoboranes, PLAs with different Lewis acidities were obtained.

Catalytic hydroboration and hydrosilylation have emerged as promising strategies for the reduction of unsaturated hydrocarbons and carbonyl compounds, as well as for the dearomatization of -heteroarenes. Various catalysts have been employed in these processes to achieve the formation of reduced products via distinct reaction pathways and intermediates. Among these intermediates, -silyl enamines and -boryl enamines, which are derived from hydrosilylation and hydroboration, are commonly underestimated in this reduction process.
