Abstract
The synthesis and crystallographic characterization of BN-benzvalene, the first second-row heteroatom-containing benzvalene, is described. BN-benzvalenes are produced via photoexcitation of C5-aryl-substituted 1,2-azaborines under flow conditions. Mechanistic studies support a boron-specific, two-step photoisomerization pathway involving a BN-Dewar benzene intermediate, which is distinct from the photoisomerization pathway proposed in benzene and phospha- and silabenzenes for the formation of their respective benzvalene analogues.

Abstract
1,2-Azaborines, a unique class of BN-isosteres of benzene, have attracted great interest across several fields. While significant advancements have been made in the postfunctionalization of 1,2-azaborines, challenges still exist for the selective functionalization of the C4 position and access to 1,2-azaborines with five or six independently installed substituents. Here we report a rapid and modular method for C3 and C4 difunctionalization of 1,2-azaborines using the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis. Enabled by the C2 amide-substituted NBE, diverse 3-iodo-1,2-azaborines can be used as substrates, showing broad functional group tolerance. Besides ortho arylation, preliminary success of ortho alkylation has also been realized. In addition, a range of alkenes and nucleophiles can be employed for ipso C3 functionalization. The reaction is scalable, and various postfunctionalizations, including forming hexa-substituted 1,2-azaborines, have been achieved.

Abstract
The direct C-H functionalization of 1,2-benzazaborines, especially asymmetric version, remains a great challenge. Here we report a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective C-H olefination and allylation reactions of 1,2-benzazaborines. This asymmetric approach is a kinetic resolution (KR), providing various C-B axially chiral 2-aryl-1,2-benzazaborines and 3-substituted 2-aryl-1,2-benzazaborines in generally high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (selectivity (S) factor up to 354). The synthetic potential of this reaction is showcased by late-stage modification of complex molecules, scale-up reaction, and applications.

Abstract
The first aromatic Claisen rearrangement of a 1,2-azaborine is described along with a quantitative kinetic comparison of the reaction of the azaborine with its direct all-carbon analogue. The azaborine A rearranged in a clean, regioselective fashion and reacted faster than the all-carbon substrate B at all temperatures from 140-180 °C. Activation free energies were extracted from observed first-order rate constants (A: ΔG‡298K = 32.7 kcal mol-1; B: ΔG‡298K = 34.8 kcal mol-1) corresponding to a twenty fold faster rate for A at observed reaction temperatures. DFT calculations show that the rearrangement proceeds via a concerted six-membered transition state and that the electronic structure of the BN and CC rings is mostly responsible for the observed regioselectivity and relative reactivity.

Abstract
The 2-aryl-3,4,5,6-tetraphenyl-1,2-azaborinines 1-EMe3 and 2-EMe3 (E=Si, Sn; aryl=Ph (1), Mes (=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, 2)) were synthesized by ring-expansion of borole precursors with N3 EMe3 -derived nitrenes. Desilylative hydrolysis of 1- and 2-SiMe3 yielded the corresponding N-protonated azaborinines, which were deprotonated with nBuLi or MN(SiMe3 )2 (M=Na, K) to the corresponding group 1 salts, 1-M and 2-M. While the lithium salts crystallized as monomeric Lewis base adducts, the potassium salts formed coordination polymers or oligomers via intramolecular K⋅⋅⋅aryl π interactions. The reaction of 1-M or 2-M with CO2 yielded N-carboxylate salts, which were derivatized by salt metathesis to methyl and silyl esters. Salt metathesis of 1-M or 2-M with methyl triflate, [Cp*BeCl] (Cp*=C5 Me5 ), BBr2 Ar (Ar=Ph, Mes, 2-thienyl), ECl3 (E=B, Al, Ga) and PX3 (X=Cl, Br) afforded the respective group 2, 13 and 15 1,2-azaborinin-2-yl complexes. Salt metathesis of 1-K with BBr3 resulted not only in N-borylation but also Ph-Br exchange between the endocyclic and exocyclic boron atoms. Solution 11 B NMR data suggest that the 1,2-azaborinin-2-yl ligand is similarly electron-withdrawing to a bromide. In the solid state the endocyclic bond length alternation and the twisting of the C4 BN ring increase with the sterics of the substituents at the boron and nitrogen atoms, respectively. Regression analyses revealed that the downfield shift of the endocyclic 11 B NMR resonances is linearly correlated to both the degree of twisting of the C4 BN ring and the tilt angle of the N-substituent. Calculations indicate that the 1,2-azaborinin-1-yl ligand has no sizeable π-donor ability and that the aromaticity of the ring can be subtly tuned by the electronics of the N-substituent.

Abstract
Boron/nitrogen-doped acenaphthylenes, a new class of BN-doped cyclopenta-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, were synthesized via indole-directed C-H borylation. The reference molecule BN-acenaphthene was also synthesized in a similar manner. Both BN-acenaphthylene and BN-acenaphthene were unequivocally characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The aromaticities of each ring in BN-acenaphthylenes were quantified by experimental and theoretical methods. Moreover, doping the BN unit into acenaphthylene can increase the LUMO level and decrease the HOMO level, resulting in wider HOMO-LUMO energy gaps. Furthermore, regioselective bromination of BN-acenaphthylene (B-Mes) afforded monobrominated BN-acenaphthylene in good yield. Subsequently, cross-coupling of brominated BN-acenaphthylene gave a series of BN-acenaphthylene derivatives. In addition, the photophysical properties of these BN-acenaphthylene derivatives can be fine-tuned by the substituents on the BN-acenaphthylene scaffold.

Abstract
The reactivity of thiophene in Diels-Alder reactions is investigated with different maleimide derivatives. In this paper, we have synthesized for the first time the Diels-Alder adducts of thiophene at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Maleimido-thiophene adducts were promoted by AlCl3. The effects of solvent, time, temperature and the use of different Lewis acids were studied, showing dramatic effects for solvent and Lewis acid. Furthermore, the catalysis with AlCl3 is highly stereoselective, preferably providing the exo form of the adduct. Additionally, we also discovered the ability of AlCl3 to catalyze the arylation of maleimides to yield 3-aryl succinimides in a straightforward manner following a Friedel-Crafts-type addition. The inclusion of a selenocyanate group contributes to the cytotoxic activity of the adduct. This derivatization (from compound 7 to compound 15) results in an average GI50 value of 1.98 µM in the DTP (NCI-60) cell panel, resulting in being especially active in renal cancer cells.

Abstract
The first α-boryl diazo compound that is capable of engaging in classic synthetic organic diazo reaction chemistry is described. The diazomethyl-1,2-azaborine 1, which is a BN isostere of phenyldiazomethane, is significantly more stable than phenyldiazomethane; its reaction chemistry ranges from C-H activation, O-H activation, [3+2] cycloaddition, and halogenation, to Ru-catalyzed carbonyl olefination. The demonstrated broad range of reactivity of diazomethyl-1,2-azaborine 1 makes it an exceptionally versatile synthetic building block for the 1,2-azaborine heterocyclic motif.

Abstract
Systematic computational studies of pericyclic Diels-Alder-type reactions between aminoborane (F3C)2B = N(CH3)2, 1, and all permutations of substituted cyclopentadienes c-C5R1R2R3R4R5aR5b (R = H, CH3, CF3, F) allow isolation of substitutional effects on Gibbs free energy barrier heights and reaction Gibbs free energies. The effects appear to be additive in all cases. Substitution at positions 5a and 5b always increases barriers and reaction energies, an effect explained by steric interactions between substituents and the aminoborane moiety. For cases R = CH3, regioselectivities differ from those expected from canonical organic chemistry predictions. Frontier molecular orbital calculations suggest this arises from the extreme polarization of the π interaction in 1. For cases R = CF3, the 2/3-substitution comparison accords with canon, but the 1/4-substitution comparison does not. This appears to arise from a combination of electronic and steric issues. For cases R = F, many of the reactions are exergonic, in contrast to the cases R = CH3, CF3. Additionally, fluorine substitution at positions 2 and 4 has a barrier-lowering effect. Frontier molecular orbital calculations support an orbital-based preference for formation of 2- and 4-substituted "meta" products rather than "ortho/para" products.

Abstract
The first trans-selective cyanoboration reaction of an alkyne, specifically a 1,3-enyne, is described. The reported palladium-catalyzed cyanoboration of 1,3-enynes is site-, regio-, and diastereoselective, and is uniquely enabled by the 1,4-azaborine-based Senphos ligand structure. Tetra-substituted alkenyl nitriles are obtained providing useful boron-dienenitrile building blocks that can be further functionalized. The utility of our method has been demonstrated with the synthesis of Satigrel, an anti-platelet aggregating agent.

Abstract
This perspective article summarizes recent applications of the combination of the activation strain model of reactivity and the energy decomposition analysis methods to the study of the reactivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds such as cycloparaphenylenes, fullerenes and doped systems. To this end, we have selected representative examples to highlight the usefulness of this relatively novel computational approach to gain quantitative insight into the factors controlling the so far not fully understood reactivity of these species. Issues such as the influence of the size and curvature of the system on the reactivity are covered herein, which is crucial for the rational design of novel compounds with tuneable applications in different fields such as materials science or medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
The Diels-Alder reaction strategy that can rapidly extend the conjugated backbone was applied to facilely synthesize fold-line, coplanar BN-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from simple small BN compounds. The molecular structures and packing modes of these BN-embedded acenes were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their electronic and photophysical properties were studied by using UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, electrochemical cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory calculations. These results demonstrate the efficiency and feasibility of this synthetic strategy.

Abstract
We provide a seminal example of the utility of the 1,2-azaborine motif as a 4C+1N+1B synthon in organic synthesis. Specifically, conditions for the practically scalable photoisomerization of 1,2-azaborine in a flow reactor are reported that furnish aminoborylated cyclobutane derivatives. The C-B bonds could also be functionalized to furnish a diverse set of highly substituted cyclobutanes.

Abstract
Two new 1,2-azaborine building blocks that enable the broad diversification of previously not readily accessible C4 and C5 ring positions of the 1,2-azaborine heterocycle are developed. 1,2-Azaborine's distinct electronic structure allowed the resolution of a mixture of C4- and C5-borylated 1,2-azaborines. The connection between the electronic structure of C4 and C5 positions of 1,2-azaborine and their distinct reactivity patterns is revealed by a combination of reactivity studies and kinetic measurements that are supported by DFT calculations. Specifically, we show that oxidation by N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO) is selective for the C4-borylated 1,2-azaborine, and the Ir-catalyzed deborylation is selective for the C5-borylated 1,2-azaborine via kinetically controlled processes. On the other hand, ligand exchange with diethanolamine takes place selectively with the C4-borylated isomer via a thermodynamically controlled process. These results represent the first examples for chemically distinguishing a mixture of two aryl mono-Bpin-substituted isomers.

Abstract
A boron and nitrogen containing unnatural analogue of tryptophan is synthesized and incorporated into proteins.
A boron and nitrogen containing unnatural analogue of tryptophan is synthesized through the functionalization of BN-indole. The spectroscopic properties of BN-tryptophan are reported with respect to the natural tryptophan, and the incorporation of BN-tryptophan into proteins expressed in E. coli using selective pressure incorporation is described. This work shows that a cellular system can recognize the unnatural, BN-containing tryptophan. More importantly, it presents the first example of an azaborine containing amino acid being incorporated into proteins.

Abstract
Most of the chemical and biological processes involving the fixation and transformation of small molecules have long been exclusive for metal complexes. Meanwhile, the last decades have seen a significant advance in main group chemistry that mimics transition-metal complexes, among which various boron-containing systems have been successful in mediating the small molecule activation. In this review, we focus on boron-containing heterocycles enabling the activation of σ- and π-bonds in small molecules, in conjunction with the proposed mechanisms.

Abstract
BN/CC isosterism has emerged as a viable strategy to expand the chemical space of organic molecules. In particular, the application of BN/CC isosterism to arenes has received significant attention due to the vast available chemical space provided by aromatic hydrocarbons. The synthetic efforts directed at assembling novel aromatic BN heterocycles have resulted in the discovery of new properties and functions in a variety of fields including biomedical research, medicinal chemistry, materials science, catalysis, and organic synthesis. This tutorial review specifically covers recent advances in synthetic technologies that functionalize assembled boron-nitrogen (BN) heterocycles and highlights their distinct reactivity and selectivity in comparison to their carbonaceous counterparts. It is intended to serve as a state-of-the-art compendium for readers who are interested in the reaction chemistry of BN heterocycles.

Abstract
Addition of an organolithium compound to a BN-phenanthrene with embedded B and N atoms is proposed to result in coordination of RLi to the boron atom. This coordination, supported by NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations, increases the nucleophilicity of the system in the β position to the N atom and is therefore a useful tool for promoting regioselective C-H functionalization of BN aromatics.

Abstract
4a-Aza-10a-boraphenanthrene has been synthesized in only four steps from commercially available materials with a remarkable overall yield of 62%. In contrast to other BN-isosteres of phenathrene, this isomer is weakly fluorescent, which has been explained by means of computational studies that found a low energy conical intersection for the nonradiative deactivation of the excited state. Moreover, a completely regioselective functionalization of 4a-aza-10a-boraphenanthrene at C-1 by reaction with activated electrophiles has been achieved.

Abstract
A simple and general method for the synthesis of a wide range of monocyclic 1,4-azaborines, including the first examples containing B heteroatoms is described. Post-heterocycle-formation olefin isomerization was employed as a key strategy. This new synthetic method provides fundamental insight into the resonance stabilization and photophysical properties of 1,4-azaborines.

Abstract
Under ambient conditions, a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 1,3,2,5-diazadiborinine 1 with ethylene afforded a bicyclo[2.2.2] derivative 2, which was structurally characterized.
Under ambient conditions, a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 1,3,2,5-diazadiborinine 1 with ethylene afforded a bicyclo[2.2.2] derivative 2, which was structurally characterized. The cyclization process was found to be reversible, and thus retro-[4 + 2] cycloaddition reproduced 1 quantitatively, concomitant with the release of ethylene. Compound 1 reacted regio-selectively and stereo-selectively with styrene derivatives and norbornene, respectively, and these processes were found to be reversible too. Computational studies determined the reaction pathways which were consistent with the regio-selectivity observed in the reaction of styrene, and the reaction was suggested to be essentially concerted but highly asynchronous.
