Hydroboration of terminal and internal aliphatic alkenes with pinacolborane was carried out at room temperature in the presence of dppm and [Ir(cod)Cl]2 resulting in addition of the boron atom to the terminal carbon with a selectivity of more than 99%. A complex prepared from dppe and [Ir(cod)Cl]2 resulted in the best yields for vinylarenes.

Efficient and site selective boron-copper addition processes involving acyclic and cyclic disubstituted aryl olefins are promoted with a readily available N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex. In situ protonation of the C-Cu bond in the presence of MeOH leads to efficient catalyst turnover, constituting a net Cu-catalyzed hydroboration process.

A simple protocol for the borylation of alkenes with use of impregnated copper on magnetite showed a very broad scope. All type of olefins could be used with similar results. The catalyst can be magnetically removed and reused several times, showing similar activity.

(E)- and (Z)-silyl and aryl-subsituted homoallylic methanesulfonates were converted to the corresponding cis- and trans-1-silyl-2-borylcyclobutanes as well as 1-phenyl-2-borylcyclobutanes in the presence of a CuCl/dppp catalyst, bis(pinacolato)diboron, and K(O-t-Bu)in THF. Stereospecific derivatizations of the cis- and trans-borylcyclobutanes were carried out to demonstrate the utility of the borylcyclobutanes.

A copper(I)-chiral secondary diamine complex catalyzes an enantioselective conjugate boration of β,β-disubstituted enones in high yields and up to 99% ee. The resulting chiral tertiary organoboronates can be converted to enantiomerically enriched β-hydroxy ketones without any racemization.

A catalytic enantioselective conjugate boration of β-substituted cyclic enones in the presence of a QuinoxP*-CuOtBu complex produced enantiomerically enriched tertiary organoboronates. The substrate scope was broad, and high enantioselectivity was produced using both β-aromatic and aliphatic (linear and branched)-substituted cyclic enones with five- to seven-membered ring sizes.

Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes gave 2,2-disubstituted cyclopropyl boronates with high degrees of diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of selected cyclopropylboronic derivatives produced corresponding optically active aryl- and vinylcyclopropanes in good yields.

A dramatic rate acceleration in the copper-catalyzed addition of bis(pinacolato)diboron to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was realized by adding alcohol additives. Various α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were reacted to the corresponding β-boryl carbonyl compounds in high yields.

A nickel catalyst system enables the β-boration of di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted α,β-unsaturated esters and amides with bis(pinacolato)diboron in good yields.

Aryl cyclopropyl ketones undergo nickel-catalyzed borylative ring opening with bis(pinacolato)diboron to yield 4-oxoalkylboronates in good yield.

Diboration of ketones with (ICy)CuOt-Bu as catalyst provides access to various tertiary α-hydroxyboronate esters. The catalyst was generated in situ with (ICy)CuCl and NaOt-Bu to afford a more efficient catalyst than the preformed (ICy)CuOt-Bu. Treatment of the resulting products with silica gel affords the corresponding α-hydroxyboronate esters.
