Recent progress in the catalytic enantioselective reactions of 1,1-diborylalkanes

Abstract

Organoboron compounds are environmentally benign, low toxic and versatile reagents that are extensively employed in organic synthesis, especially in the realm of asymmetric synthesis. The last several decades have witnessed...

Copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution of racemic/meso substrates

“…The development of Cu-catalyzed AAS for prochiral substrates, which has been extensively pursued, mainly relies on the use of organometallic reagents. 31,42–48 The recent trend of using unsaturated hydrocarbons as pro-nucleophiles in borylative or reductive couplings with allylic substrates represents a significant development in this field, facilitating the synthesis of products endowed with enhanced functional groups. 49–54…”
