Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric multicomponent 1,2-boronate rearrangements provide a practical approach for synthesizing highly valuable enantioenriched boronic esters. When applied to alkenyl or heteroaryl boronates, these reactions have relied mainly on transition-metal catalysis. Herein, we present an organocatalytic, Lewis base-catalyzed asymmetric multicomponent 1,2-boronate rearrangement, involving indoles, boronic esters, and Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates, leading to enantioenriched, highly substituted indole and indoline derivatives. Using cinchona alkaloid-based catalysts, high selectivity has been achieved, enabling expansion of the chemical space around pharmaceutically relevant indole and indoline derivatives.

Abstract
Synthesis of versatile β tert-boryl amides is accomplished by conjunctive cross-coupling of α-substituted alkenyl boron "ate" complexes and carbamoyl chloride electrophiles. This reaction can be accomplished in an enantioselective fashion using a palladium catalyst in combination with MandyPhos. The addition of water results in enhanced chemoselectivity for the conjunctive coupling product relative to the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling product. Transformations of the reaction products were examined as well as application to the synthesis of (+)-adalinine.

Abstract
The potent spliceosome modulator pladienolide B, which bears 10 stereogenic centers, is prepared in 10 steps (LLS). Asymmetric alcohol-mediated carbonyl crotylations catalyzed by ruthenium and iridium that occur with syn- and anti-diastereoselectivity, respectively, were used to form the C20-C21 and C10-C11 C-C bonds.

Abstract
A general and efficient approach for the preparation of 1,3-bis-(boryl)alkanes is introduced. It is shown that readily generated vinylboron ate complexes react with commercially available ICH2 Bpin to valuable 1,3-bis-(boryl)alkanes. The introduced transformation, which is experimentally easy to conduct, shows broad substrate scope and high functional-group tolerance. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction does not proceed via radical intermediates. Instead, an unprecedented boronic ester induced sequential bis-1,2-migration cascade is suggested.

Abstract
The stereospecific 1,2-migration of boronate complexes is one of the most representative reactions in boron chemistry. This process has been used extensively to develop powerful methods for asymmetric synthesis, with applications spanning from pharmaceuticals to natural products. Typically, 1,2-migration of boronate complexes is driven by displacement of an α-leaving group, oxidation of an α-boryl radical, or electrophilic activation of an alkenyl boronate complex. The aim of this article is to summarize the recent advances in the rapidly expanding field of electrophile-induced stereospecific 1,2-migration of groups from boron to sp2 and sp3 carbon centers. It will be shown that three different conceptual approaches can be utilized to enable the 1,2-migration of boronate complexes: stereospecific Zweifel-type reactions, catalytic conjunctive coupling reactions, and transition metal-free sp2 -sp3 couplings. A discussion of the reaction scope, mechanistic insights, and synthetic applications of the work described is also presented.

Abstract
Difunctionalization reactions of C-C σ-bonds have the potential to streamline access to molecules that would otherwise be difficult to prepare. However, the development of such reactions is challenging because C-C σ-bonds are typically unreactive. Exploiting the high ring-strain energy of polycyclic carbocycles is a common strategy to weaken and facilitate the reaction of C-C σ-bonds, but there are limited examples of highly strained C-C σ-bonds being used in difunctionalization reactions. We demonstrate that highly strained bicyclo[1.1.0]butyl boronate complexes (strain energy ca. 65 kcal/mol), which were prepared by reacting boronic esters with bicyclo[1.1.0]butyl lithium, react with electrophiles to achieve the diastereoselective difunctionalization of the strained central C-C σ-bond of the bicyclo[1.1.0]butyl unit. The reaction shows broad substrate scope, with a range of different electrophiles and boronic esters being successfully employed to form a diverse set of 1,1,3-trisubstituted cyclobutanes (>50 examples) with high diastereoselectivity. The high diastereoselectivity observed has been rationalized based on a combination of experimental data and DFT calculations, which suggests that separate concerted and stepwise reaction mechanisms are operating, depending upon the migrating substituent and electrophile used.

Abstract
Chiral 1,2-bimetallic reagents are useful motifs in synthetic chemistry. Although syn-1,2-bimetallic compounds can be prepared by alkene dimetallation, anti-1,2-bimetallics are still rare. The stereospecific 1,2-metallate shift that occurs during conjunctive cross-coupling is shown to enable a practical and modular approach to the catalytic synthesis of enantioenriched anti-1,2-borosilanes. In addition to reaction development, the synthetic utility of anti-1,2-borosilanes was investigated, including applications to the synthesis of anti-1,2-diols and anti-1,2-amino alcohols.

Abstract
A catalytic conjunctive cross-coupling reaction is developed that allows the construction of chiral organoboronic esters from alkylboron ate complexes and alkyl iodide electrophiles. The process occurs most efficiently with a Ni/Pybox-comprised catalyst and with an acenapthoquinone-derived boron ligand. Because of the broad functional group tolerance of this reaction, it can be a versatile tool for organic synthesis. Applications to the construction of (R)-coniine and (-)-indolizidine 209D are described.

Abstract
A series of in situ formed alkenyl diboronate complexes from alkenyl Grignard reagents (commercially available or prepared from alkenyl bromides and Mg) with B2 Pin2 (bis(pinacolato)diboron) react with diverse alkyl halides by a Ru photocatalyst to give various gem-bis(boryl)alkanes. Alkyl radicals add efficiently to the alkenyl diboronate complexes, and the adduct radical anions undergo radical-polar crossover, specifically, a 1,2-boryl-anion shift from boron to the α-carbon sp2 center. This transformation shows good functional-group compatibility and can serve as a powerful synthetic tool for late-stage functionalization in complex compounds. Measurements of the quantum yield reveal that a radical-chain mechanism is operative in which the alkenyl diboronates acts as reductive quencher for the excited state of the photocatalyst.
