Over the last century, there have been considerable developments in organoboron chemistry due to the stability, non-toxicity, and easy commercial availability of various boronic esters. Several organoboron reagents have emerged and play an increasingly important role in everyday organic synthesis. Among them, alkynyl boron compounds have attracted significant attention due to their easy synthesis and diverse reactivity. In this review, we summarize the advancement of research on alkynyl boron compounds, highlighting their importance in the synthesis of valuable compounds.

The Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling (SMC) reaction is a powerful method for forming carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. Recent advancements in SMC reactions have introduced first-row transition metal catalysts, with zinc garnering significant interest due to its cost-effective and eco-friendly nature. Despite progress in experimental protocols, the mechanistic details of zinc-catalyzed SMC reactions are limited.

Organoboronic acids, some of the most common and widely used organoboron compounds, have not yet been used in the cobalt-catalyzed cross coupling reactions, despite cobalt demonstrating good reactivity with zinc reagents, Grignard reagents, and metal organoborates that are formed by -butyl lithium or alkaline metal alkoxide salts and organoboron esters. Herein, a highly efficient and practical cobalt-catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl/alkenyl boronic acids and alkynyl chloride under mild reaction conditions is reported. The advantages of the organoboronic acids, along with a broad functional group compatibility and the reaction's tolerance to moisture and air, enable this reaction to be a synthetically useful protocol for the construction of a C(sp)-C(sp) bond.

Zweifel reaction is a powerful strategy to construct olefins from alkenyl tetracoordinate borons in organoboron chemistry, however, it usually only involves one functional group migration and then undergoes an elimination process affording alkenes or alkynes exclusively. Herein, we disclose several intriguing interception of alkynyl tetracoordinate borons with sulfur electrophiles. Wherein, the substituted benzothiophenes are accessed by consecutive 1,2-migrations and intramolecular electrophilic substitution, meanwhile, the challenging and elusive five/four-membered boracycles are easily assembled, and an approach to alkenyl sulfides with good stereoselectivity was developed as well.

Development of methods for the sp C-H transformations of allenes has received much attention, and it presents a powerful tool for the synthesis of complicated allene-containing bioactive molecules. With a copper-catalyzed radical relay, sp allenic C-H arylation and alkynylation were established herein, using various aryl boronic acids and trimethoxysilyl-substituted alkynes as carbon nucleophiles and using electrophilic N-F reagents as nitrogen-centered radical precursors. These methods featured excellent site selectivity to deliver fully substituted allenes efficiently.

Site-specific functionalization of the secondary C-B bond of 1,2-bis-boronic esters has been proven to be an important method for the generation of 1,2-bis-functionalized compounds in a highly stereoselective manner. We have explored previously unknown secondary selective alkenylation, allylation, alkynylation and addition to aryl vinyl trifluoromethane, which proceeds via a novel reaction mechanism: alkoxide-mediated photoredox activation to generate secondary radicals over the primary one.
