An operationally simple decarboxylative borylation reaction of readily available aliphatic acid derivatives under additive-free visible-light photoredox conditions provides primary and secondary alkyl boronates or tetrafluoroborates with various functional groups. A catalytic cycle involving alkyl radical reaction with base-activated diboron species has been proposed.

A new synthetic method for the preparation of potassium organotrifluoroborates through nucleophilic substitution of potassium bromo- and iodomethyltrifluoroborates is described. Potassium halomethyltrifluoroborates have been prepared via in situ reaction of n-BuLi with dibromo- and diiodomethane, respectively, in the presence of trialkyl borates, followed by treatment with KHF2.

Activated pyridine borane complexes (Py·BH2X) are capable of hydroborating alkenes at room temperature. An unusual hydroboration mechanism is discussed. Hydroboration of alkynes with Py·BH2I selectively affords the monoadducts. The preparation of synthetically useful potassium alkyltrifluoroborate salts is described.

An oxa-Matteson reaction enables sequential oxygen and carbenoid insertions into diverse alkyl- and arylboronates to provide a wide range of boron-substituted ethers. The utilities of this method are demonstrated in the the asymmetric synthesis of an acetyl-CoA-carboxylase inhibitor, and the programmable construction of polyethers.

A copper-catalyzed β-boration of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with tetrahydroxydiborane allows direct, efficient access to boronic acids and their derivatives. Various α,β-unsaturated amides, ketones and esters are converted to the corresponding β-trifluoroborato compounds in good to excellent yields.

Ketone-, ester-, and amide-containing potassium trifluoroboratohomoenolates were prepared in good yields from the corresponding unsaturated carbonyl compounds. They are effective coupling partners in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with various electrophiles including electron-rich and electron-poor aryl bromides and -chlorides.

In a one-step synthesis of aliphatic potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) from organocuprates, organolithium and organomagnesium reagents were readily transmetalated onto Cu(I) and coupled with a KAT-forming reagent. The protocol is suitable for primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl substrates.

The cis-dihydroxylation of olefin-containing potassium alkyl- and aryltrifluoroborates proceeds readily in moderate to excellent yields. The resulting diols are efficient coupling partners in Suzuki-Miyaura-type reactions with both alkenyl and aryl bromides.
