Suzuki–Miyaura (SM) cross-coupling is arguably the most widely-applied transition metal
catalysed carbon–carbon bond forming reaction to date. Its success originates from a …

Until recently, organoboronic acids had found limited use in organic synthesis due to their
low reactivity for ionic reactions. However, it became increasingly clear that they are a …

pH–rate profiles for aqueous–organic protodeboronation of 18 boronic acids, many widely
viewed as unstable, have been studied by NMR and DFT. Rates were pH-dependent, and …

Pioneering studies by Kuivila, published more than 50 years ago, suggested ipso
protonation of the boronate as the mechanism for base-catalyzed protodeboronation of …

Azine‐containing biaryls are ubiquitous scaffolds in many areas of chemistry, and efficient
methods for their synthesis are continually desired. Pyridine rings are prominent amongst …

Organic electrochemistry has emerged as an enabling and sustainable technology in
modern organic synthesis. Despite the recent renaissance of electrosynthesis, the broad …

An extended study of the reactivity of potassium aryl-and heteroaryltrifluoroborates in Suzuki-
Miyaura cross-coupling reactions is presented. The coupling of aryl-and electron-rich …

The kinetics and mechanism of the base-catalyzed hydrolysis (ArB (OR) 2→ ArB (OH) 2) and
protodeboronation (ArB (OR) 2→ ArH) of a series of boronic esters, encompassing eight …

Tetrakis [3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl] borate (TFPB) anion was highly lipophilic,
practically insoluble in water, and durable against acid and oxidants. Partition equilibria of …

Structurally, boronic acids are trivalent boron-containing organic compounds that possess
one alkyl substituent (ie, a C–B bond) and two hydroxyl groups to fill the remaining valences …
