Abstract
The remarkable reducibility of diazaphosphinanes has been extensively applied in various hydrogenations, based on and yet limited by their well-known hydridic reactivity. Here we exploited their unprecedented radical reactivity to implement hydrodehalogenations and cascade cyclizations originally inaccessible by hydride transfer. These reactions feature a broad substrate scope, high efficiency and simplicity of manipulation. Mechanistic studies suggested a radical chain process in which a phosphinyl radical is generated in a catalytic cycle via hydrogen-atom transfer from diazaphosphinanes. The radical reactivity of diazaphosphinanes disclosed here differs from their well-established hydridic reactivity, and hence, opens a new avenue for diazaphosphinane applications in organic syntheses.

Abstract
Reactions of N-heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC-boranes) with electron-poor aromatic rings under photoredox conditions provide dearomatized 3-NHC-boryl-1,5-cycohexadienes, which are formally products of 1,4-hydroboration reactions. When regioisomers are possible, the more crowded (doubly ortho-substituted) product is formed preferably or exclusively. The mechanism may involve oxidation of the NHC-borane to an NHC-boryl radical, reduction of the electron-poor aromatic ring to a radical anion, coupling of the radical and the radical anion to give a cyclohexadienyl anion, and finally regioselective protonation.

Abstract
In this paper we probe the reactivity of the borenium cations [C3H2(NCH2C6H4)(NCH2Ph)BH][B(C6F5)4] 2 and [C3H2(NCH2C6H4)2B][B(C6F5)4] 3. The reactions of 2 with cyclohexene or 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene gave the alkyl-aryl borenium salts [PhCH2(CHN)2CCH2C6H4BR][B(C6F5)4] (R = Cy 4, CH2CH2tBu 5) while the corresponding reactions with diphenylacetylene, 1-hexyne and 1-phenyl-1-propyne gave the aryl-alkenyl borenium cation salts [PhCH2(CHN)2CCH2C6H4BC(R1)C(H)R2][B(C6F5)4] (R1 = R2 = Ph 6, R1 = H, R2 = C4H97, R1 = Me, R2 = Ph 8a, R1 = Ph, R2 = Me 8b). In contrast, the reaction of 2 with ethynyldiphenylphosphane or 2-vinylpyridine lead to the formation of the adducts, [PhCH2(CHN)2CCH2C6H4B(H)P(Ph2)CCH][B(C6F5)4] 9, [PhCH2(CHN)2CCH2C6H4B(H)NC5H4C(H)CH2][B(C6F5)4] 10, respectively, while the more bulky donor H2C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(Ph)PMes2 gave 1,2-hydroboration of the phosphinoalkene affording [PhCH2(CHN)2CCH2C6H4BCH2CH(Ph)PMes2][B(C6F5)4] 11. In another vein of reactivity, one or two equivalents of the FLP, PtBu3/B(C6F5)3 is shown to react with 3 to give the zwitterionic borenium-borate species [C2H2(NCH(BC(CHNCH2C6H4)2)C6H4)(NCH(B(C6F5)3)C6H4)CB] 12 and the anionic bis-borate species[tBu3PH][C2H2(NCH(B(C6F5)3)2C6H4)2CB] 13. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract
Imidazol-2-ylidenes are important N-heterocyclic carbenes which have become universal ligands in organometallic and coordination chemistry. Generally classified as σ-donor ligands, these compounds have been used to stabilize various metal complexes which hitherto were less stable in their catalytic processes. Herein, the number and distribution of group IA, group IIA, and group IIIA metal-imidazol-2-ylidene complexes retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) are assessed. The data showed that the mean M-Ccarbene bond length increases with increasing ionic size but is similar across each diagonal. Dominant factors such as Lewis acidity and electrostatic attractions were found to control the bonding modes of the respective ions. Generally, the metal ions show preference for tetrahedral coordination with larger cations forming complexes with higher coordination numbers. For their high number of entries (101), tetrahedrally coordinated boron complexes with various electron withdrawing and electron donating groups were studied computationally at the DFT/B3LYP level of theory. The strength of the B-Ccarbene bond was found to depend on steric interactions between bulky groups on the borenium atom and substituents on the N-positions of the imidazol-2-ylidene ligand. This observation was further confirmed by estimation of the binding energy, natural charge, and the electron distribution in the B-Ccarbene bond.

Abstract
Certain borenium cations supported by carbenes can function as hydrogenation catalysts for imines. While many carbenes have been explored, variation of the other groups on boron has been less common. We have investigated several carbene-borane adducts in an attempt to understand the ability of a bis-amino cyclopropenylidene (BAC) carbene dicyclohexylborane adduct to hydrogenate relatively sterically unhindered benzyl imines. As an additional variant, a BAC carbene adduct of diphenylborane was prepared. A convenient preparation of diphenylboron fluoride via a potassium fluoroborinate salt was employed in this chemistry. Reaction of diphenylboron fluoride with a BAC carbene afforded a modest yield of a carbene-fluoroborane adduct. Reaction between the fluoroborinate salt and a lithium tetrafluoroborate adduct of the carbene provided the adduct in much improved yield and cleanliness, and the product was structurally characterized. The fluoroborate could be converted to a boron hydride through fluoride-hydride exchange with dimethylchlorosilane. The boron hydride adduct was also structurally characterized. Unlike the BAC carbene dicyclohexylborane adduct, the BAC carbene diphenylborane adduct showed essentially no activity in hydrogenation of imines or enamines.

Abstract
The reactivity of a bicyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (BICAAC) towards different boranes has been examined in the present work. The reactions with boranes BX3·SMe2 (X = H, Cl, Br), BF3·OEt2 and BCl3 yield Lewis adducts [BICAAC·BH3] (1), [BICAAC·BHCl2] (2), [BICAAC·BH2Cl] (3), [BICAAC·BF3] (4), [BICAAC·BCl3] (5) and [BICAAC·BBr3] (6) respectively, whereas more hydridic boranes, 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) and catecholborane (HBcat), enable the insertion of the carbene carbon into the B-H bond to form [BICAAC(H)-(9-BBN)] (7) and [BICAAC(H)-Bcat] (8). These complexes are the first examples of BICAAC-boron compounds and have been characterized using IR, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, HRMS spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Computational analyses were also performed to gain insight into the mechanism of B-H bond activation and adduct formation. Furthermore, the reactions of the BICAAC with boranes have been compared with the known reactions of CAACs and NHCs.

Abstract
A first example of radical hydroboration and hydrosilylation of gem-difluoroalkenes using ABIN as the radical initiator is described. This protocol features good functional group tolerance, operational simplicity, high atom economy, and easy scale-up, enabling efficient assembly of a wide range of α-difluorinated alkylborons and alkylsilanes in moderate to excellent yields. The synthetic utility of these products is demonstrated by further transformation of the C-B bond and C-Si bond into valuable CF2-containing molecules.

Abstract
A regioselective radical hydroboration of gem-difluoroalkenes was developed for the synthesis of α-difluoroalkylborons. The reaction features excellent regioselectivity, broad substrate scope, and good functional group capability. DFT calculations implicated the remarkable α-selectivity was driven from the kinetically and thermodynamically more favorable α-addition step. The resulting α-difluoroalkylborons could be readily converted into NHC-borane-tethered monofluoroalkenes, which demonstrated unique reactivity and applicability in the synthesis of monofluoroalkene derivatives through transformations of the boron unit.

Abstract
Coupling between 5-bromoimidazo[1,5-a]pyridinium salts and malonate or arylacetate esters leads to a facile and straightforward access to the new mesoionic, fused, tricyclic system of imidazo[2,1,5-cd]indolizinium-3-olate. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction pathway consists of nucleophilic aromatic substitution on the cationic, bicyclic heterocycle by an enolate-type moiety and in the nucleophilic attack of a transient free N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) species on the ester group; the relative order of these two steps depends on the nature of the starting ester. This work highlights the valuable implementation of free NHC species as key intermediates in synthetic chemistry, beyond their classical use as stabilizing ligands or organocatalysts.

Abstract
Unusual 1,2-migration reactions of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) on transition metals were investigated using density functional theory calculations. Our results reveal that the electronic properties, ring strain of the four-membered ring, and aromaticity of NHC play crucial roles in the thermodynamics of such a 1,2-migration. Further studies show that changing the methylene on the metal center in the reactant with a more electronegative group (NH or O) will lead to the formation of products with nitrogen coordinating to the metal center, whereas other groups (BH, CF2 , and SiH2 ) will make such a 1,2-migration reverse. In addition, the reversed rearrangement of 1,2-boron, silyl migration could be thermodynamically and kinetically favorable.

Abstract
The preparation of a new series of dihydridoboranes supported by N,N-chelating ligands, [R2NCH2CH2NAr]- (R = alkyl, Ar = aryl), is reported. These new boranes react selectively with carbonyls, imines, and a series of electron-deficient fluoroarenes. The reactivity is complementary to recognized reagents such as pinacolborane, catecholborane, NHC-BH3, and borane (BH3) itself. Selectivities are rationalized by invoking both open- and closed-chain forms of the reagents as part of equilibrium mixtures.

Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized copper nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized from an NHC-borane adduct and mesitylcopper(I) under thermal conditions (refluxing toluene for 2.5 h). NPs with a size distribution of 11.6±1.8 nm were obtained. The interaction between Cu NPs and NHC ligands was probed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which showed covalent binding of the NHC to the surface of the NPs. Mechanistic studies suggested that NHC-borane plays two roles: contributing to the reduction of [CuMes]2 to release Cu0 species and providing NHC ligands to stabilize the copper NPs.

Abstract
Stereogenic main group elements are clearly generating interest in the enantioselective catalysis field. Surprisingly, while chiral organoboron reagents are very useful in stereoselective transformations, few scaffolds stereogenic at boron and configurationally stable have been reported to date. Herein, we describe an original library of chiral NHC-boranes, stereogenic at the boron atom, that has been prepared in only a few steps and in good yields (up to 93%). Key steps involve a chlorination/arylation sequence in the presence of simple Grignard reagents from bicyclic NHC-boranes. The high and unprecedented diastereoselectivity observed during the second step (up to 99 : 1 dr) has been rationalized through a plausible SRN1 mechanism thanks to EPR observations and DFT calculations.

Abstract
Boron-doping has long been recognized as a promising LUMO energy-lowering modification of graphene and related polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Unfortunately, synthetic difficulties have been a significant bottleneck for the understanding, optimization, and application of precisely boron-doped PAHs for optoelectronic purposes. Herein, a facile one-pot hydroboration electrophilic borylation cascade/dehydrogenation approach from simple alkene precursors is coupled with postsynthetic B-substitution to give access to ten ambient-stable core- and periphery-tuned boron-doped PAHs. These include large hitherto unknown doubly boron-doped analogues of anthanthrene and triangulene. Crystallographic, optical, electrochemical, and computational studies were performed to clarify the effect of boron-doped PAH shape, size, and structure on optoelectronic properties. Our molecular tuning allowed the synthesis of molecules exhibiting visible-range absorption, near-unity fluorescence quantum yields, and, to our knowledge, the most facile electrochemical reductions of any reported ambient-stable boron-doped PAHs (corresponding to LUMO energy levels as low as fullerenes). Finally, our study describes the first implementation of a precise three-coordinate boron-substituted PAH as an acceptor material in organic solar cells with power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of up to 3%.

Abstract
Organoboron compounds are highly valuable in synthetic chemistry. In particular, α-borylcarbonyl compounds have shown versatile synthetic applications, owing to fruitful chemistries of both the boryl and carbonyl moieties. However, the synthesis of these molecules still remains tedious and time-consuming. Here we report a straightforward and practical route to synthesize α-borylcarbonyl molecules based on a regioselective radical α-borylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The reaction features unusual α-regioselectivity and high functional-group compatibility. Further synthetic applications of new α-borylated products were also demonstrated. DFT and kinetic studies implicated that the α-regioselectivity of β-aryl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was determined by the thermodynamically more favorable radical α-addition step, whereas the formation of α-addition products from β-alkyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was driven by an energetically favored hydrogen atom transfer step. Given that α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be easily obtained in abundance and variety, this method enjoys great advantages in diverse and economical synthesis of valuable α-borylcarbonyl molecules. α-Borylcarbonyl compounds are versatile synthons in organic synthesis, however their preparation is often tedious. Here, the authors report a regioselective radical α-borylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to afford α-borylcarbonyl molecules with high selectivity and functional group compatibility.

Abstract
Several N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC)-boryl sulfides with B-substituents were prepared. The added steric hindrance leads to much improved selectivities as only the NHC-boryl mono-sulfides were obtained. The B-substituted NHC-boranes are also conducive to more selective S to N NHC-boryl shift, provided that the NHC used is not too sterically demanding.

Abstract
A novel method for site-selective C-H functionalization of ethyl acetate mediated by pyridine-boryl radicals is presented, delivering a variety of 4-phenylbut-3-yn-2-yl acetate derivatives under mild conditions. A distinguishing feature of this reaction is that the pyridine-ligated boryl radicals can abstract the inactive α-hydrogen of the alkoxyl group instead of the α-hydrogen of carbonyl groups described in a previous report using amine-ligated boryl radicals. Significantly, substrates with halogen atoms are compatible under the reaction conditions.

Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group element chemistry without the plethora of available NHCs with tailor-made electronic and steric properties. While their suitability to act as strong ligands toward transition metals has led to numerous applications of NHC complexes in homogeneous catalysis, their strong σ-donating and adaptable π-accepting abilities have also contributed to an impressive vitalization of main group chemistry with the isolation and characterization of NHC adducts of almost any element. Formally, NHC coordination to Lewis acids affords a transfer of nucleophilicity from the carbene carbon atom to the attached exocyclic moiety, and low-valent and low-coordinate adducts of the p-block elements with available lone pairs and/or polarized carbon-element π-bonds are able to act themselves as Lewis basic donor ligands toward transition metals. Accordingly, the availability of a large number of novel NHC adducts has not only produced new varieties of already existing ligand classes but has also allowed establishment of numerous complexes with unusual and often unprecedented element-metal bonds. This review aims at summarizing this development comprehensively and covers the usage of N-heterocyclic carbene adducts of the p-block elements as ligands in transition metal chemistry.

Abstract
The first ring-opening reactions of ligated boriranes (boracyclopropanes) are described. Treatment of readily available NHC-boriranes bearing ester substituents on the borirane ring with HCl provides stable γ-NHC-bora-γ-lactones in isolated yields ranging from 40% to 73%. The reactions occur through 1,3-addition of HCl across a B-C bond of the NHC-borirane to form a ring-opened NHC-boryl chloride, followed by lactonization with chloride displacement. Experimental evidence suggests that both the borirane ring-opening reaction and the boralactonization reaction occur with inversion at boron.

The 12-X- closo-SB11H10 (X = H or I) thiaboranes react with one or two molar equivalents of various N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to give the deprotonated 12-vertex species of [12-X-SB11H9·NHC]-[NHC-H]+composition as kinetic products. The use of one molar equivalent of a sterically more hindered NHC reactant leads to the formation of 12-X-SB11H10·NHC adducts with a heavily distorted cage and the nido electron count. Further reaction of 12-I-SB11H10·NHC to deboronated 12-X-SB10H9·NHC proceeds in acetone to complete the closo- nido reaction pathway under the thermodynamic control. The structures of all compounds have been investigated by NMR spectroscopy and diffraction techniques. The results are supported by theoretical methods.

Abstract
Photoinduced synthetic approaches to organoboron compounds have attracted significant attention in the recent years. Photochemical activation of organic molecules enables generation of reactive intermediates from a variety of precursors, resulting in borylation methods with improved and broader substrate scopes. The review summarizes recent developments in the area of photoinduced reactions of organoboron compounds with an emphasis on borylation of haloarenes, amine derivatives, and redox-active esters of carboxylic acids, as well as photoinduced rearrangements of organoboron compounds and photoinduced synthesis of organoboron compounds from alkenes and alkynes.

Abstract
A metal-free radical borylation of alkyl and aryl iodides with bis(catecholato)diboron (B2 cat2 ) as the boron source under mild conditions is introduced. The borylation reaction is operationally easy to conduct and shows high functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope. Radical clock experiments and density functional theory calculations provide insights into the mechanism and rate constants for C-radical borylation with B2 cat2 are disclosed.

Abstract
A dicationic bis(NHC)-stabilised silyldiium complex, [bis(NHC)-SiPh2]2+ (72+) (bis(NHC) = [CH2(NC3H2NDipp)2], Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3), was synthesised for the first time. It reacts with sodium phosphaethynolate (NaOCP) as a source of monoanionic phosphorus to give the P-insertion product [bis(NHC)-PSiPh2]+ (8+). The latter comprises a seven-membered heterocycle containing a Si-P moiety which can easily be desilylated when exposed to dichlorophosphanes as exemplified by the synthesis of the diphosphanide cations [bis(NHC)-PPCy]+ (9+) and [bis(NHC)-PPPh]+ (10+).

Abstract
A synthetic method based on radical borylation/cyclization cascades of N-allylcyanamides was developed to construct diverse boron-substituted N-heterocycles. In the reaction process, the N-heterocyclic carbene-boryl radical underwent a chemo- and regioselective addition to the alkene moiety, followed by cyclization with the N-cyano group. The resulting amide-iminyl radical intermediates underwent further reactions to afford various boron-tethered N-heterocyclic molecules. Further transformations to access synthetically useful building blocks were also demonstrated.

Abstract
EPR studies of radical hydrogen abstraction reactions of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of alkenylboranes bearing two ester substituents revealed not the expected boraallyl radicals but instead isomeric 1,2-oaxborole radicals. Such radicals are new, and DFT calculations show that they arise from the initially formed boraallyl radicals by a rapid, exothermic 5- endo cyclization. These spectroscopic and computational discoveries prompted a series of preparative experiments that provided access to a novel family of robust NHC-boralactones. A one-pot procedure was developed to access the boralactones directly from an NHC-borane (NHC-BH3) and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate.

Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC-boranes) react with 5-diazo-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione at 40 °C in dichloromethane to provide NHC-boryl hydrazone derivatives of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione. These hydrazones disproportionate to bis-hydrazones on treatment with diiodine in dichloromethane at room temperature. The mono- and bis-hydrazones are yellow solids that are stable to chromatography and storage.

Abstract
Homoaromatic compounds are currently viewed mainly as an interesting novelty with little to no practical application. Based on calculations within density functional theory, we show that the unique charge redirection properties of tricoordinate boron, along with it being isolobal to a carbocation, allow for a larger range of two-electron donors to be utilized, leading to the rational design of homoaromatic compounds better suited to functionalization. Among others, these compounds show a strong dependency on the relative positioning of the hetero-atoms within the ring system, a modulation control rendered possible by the insertion of the boron centres.
