The transition metal-free method for borylation of alkynes and alkenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron has been developed, producing the correspondent organoborons under mild reaction conditions. This reaction was an efficient, practical and environment-friendly process which brings forth vinylboronate products with excellent regioselectivity in the borylation of alkynes with bis(pinacolato)diboron, while in the meantime the diboryl alkanes were obtained using alkenes as substrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
