The addition of carbon-centered radicals to alkenylboron compounds provides a useful method for the construction of organoboron reagents which are versatile reagents in chemical synthesis. While the first examples of this type or process appeared 70 years ago, until recently, attention to this type [a] G. Scheme 7. Aggarwal′s photoredox-catalyzed radical addition of carboxylic acids to alkenylboron reagents. Conditions: RCO 2 H, 1 % Ir catayst, 1.1 equiv. Cs 2 CO 3 , DMF, 35°C, 40 W blue LED.reductant furnishes an Fe-H species that undergoes H atom transfer; subsequent conjugate addition of the α-boryl radical to an activated alkene allowed C-C bond formation with a second reactant (Scheme 8). Interestingly, the reaction operates smoothly with both three-coordinate alkenylB(pin) derivatives as well as four-coordinate alkenylB(mida) compounds. According to the proposed mechanism, it is plausible that the two types of alkenylboron compounds react by different paths, with the non-stabilized α-boryl radical (8, BL 2 = mida) reacting as shown in Scheme 8, but the stabilized radical (8, L 2 = pin) undergoing reduction to an α-boryl carbanion prior to engaging in direct conjugate addition to give 10.
