The Lewis superacid, bis(1-methyl-ortho-carboranyl)borane, is rapidly accessed in two steps. It is a very effective hydroboration reagent capable of B-H addition to alkenes, alkynes, and cyclopropanes. To date, this is the first identified Lewis superacidic secondary borane and most reactive neutral hydroboration reagent.

(-)-Pleurotin () and (+)-dihydropleurotinic acid () are benzoquinone meroterpenoids isolated from fungal sources with powerful antitumor and antibiotic activities. Concise asymmetric total syntheses of the stereochemically pure (+)-dihydropleurotinic acid () and (-)-pleurotin () from the chiral pool ()-Roche ester-derived vinyl bromide have been achieved in 12 and 13 longest linear steps, respectively. The key transformations feature a Michael addition/alkylation cascade reaction to forge three contiguous stereocenters matched with the natural products, a PtO-catalyzed stereoselective reduction of olefin to generate the correct stereocenter at C3, a palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling between triflate and zinc reagent to introduce the redox-sensitive para-quinone moiety, and a hydroboration/copper-catalyzed carboxylation sequence to incorporate the vital carboxyl group.

Three bis-formylfluorenimide ligands with different bridging groups were designed and synthesized, leading to the successful preparation of six novel alkylaluminum complexes through their reaction with alkylaluminum reagents (AlMe or AlEt). Complexes and were obtained by the reaction of 1,2-propylene-bridged diamine () with AlMe or AlEt. By reacting 1,2-cyclohexylene-bridged diamine () with AlMe or AlEt to obtain complexes and .

Skeletal editing of the core structure of heterocycles offers new opportunities for chemical construction and is a promising yet challenging research topic that has recently gained increasing interest. However, several limitations of the reported systems remain to be addressed. For example, the reagents employed are generally in high-energy, such as chlorocarbene precursors, nitrene species, and metal carbenes, which are also associated with low atomic efficiencies.

Hydroboranes are versatile reagents in synthetic chemistry, but their synthesis relies on energy-intensive processes. Herein, we report a new method for the preparation of hydroboranes from hydrogen and the corresponding haloboranes. Triethylamine (NEt) form with dialkylchloroboranes a Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP) able to split H and afford the desired hydroborane with ammonium salts.

Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of enol carbamates yields α-boryl carbamates in good enantioselectivity. The enol carbamate starting materials can be prepared with moderate selectivity using a modified Juila olefination and used as an mixture, taking advantage of the faster reactivity of the major isomer in the directed hydroboration. Optically active α-boryl carbamates participate in a Matteson-type homologation with Grignard reagents in which the O-carbamate is substituted with high conservation of optical activity to provide enantioenriched secondary boronic esters.
