Abstract
Bioisosteric replacement has emerged as a clear strategy for drug-structure optimization. Naphthalene is the core element of many chiral pharmaceuticals and drug candidates. However, as a promising isostere of naphthalene, the chiral version of 1,2-benzazaborine has rarely been explored due to the lack of efficient synthetic methods. Here we describe a copper-catalysed enantioselective hydroboration of alkenes with 1,2-benzazaborines. The method provides a general platform for the atom-economic and efficient construction of diverse chiral 1,2-benzazaborine compounds (more than 60 examples) that bear a 2-carbon-stereogenic centre or allene skeleton in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. Three 1,2-benzazaborine analogues of bioactive chiral naphthalene-containing molecules have been prepared, and a series of transformations around chiral 1,2-benzazaborines have also been developed. Notably, the hydroboration process of this study reveals that the identity of 1,2-benzazaborine plays an essential role in the rate-determining step and catalyst resting state.

Abstract
Chiral organoboronates have played a critical role in organic chemistry and in the development of materials science and pharmaceuticals. Much effort has been devoted to exploring synthetic methodologies for the preparation of these compounds during the past few decades. Among the known methods, asymmetric catalysis has emerged as a practical and highly efficient strategy for their straightforward preparation, and recent years have witnessed remarkable advances in this respect. Approaches such as asymmetric borylative addition, asymmetric allylic borylation and stereospecific cross-coupling borylation, have been extensively explored and well established employing transition-metal catalysis with a chiral ligand. This review provides a comprehensive overview of transition metal-catalysed asymmetric borylation processes to construct carbon-boron, carbon-carbon, and other carbon-heteroatom bonds. It summarises a range of recent achievements in this area of research, with considerable attention devoted to the reaction modes and the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Highly enantioselective Darzens-type epoxidation of diazoesters with glyoxal derivatives was accomplished using a chiral boron-Lewis acid catalyst, which facilitated asymmetric synthesis of trisubstituted α,β-epoxy esters. In the presence of a chiral oxazaborolidinium ion catalyst, the reaction proceeded in high yield (up to 99 %) with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity (up to >99 % ee and >20:1 dr, respectively). The synthetic potential of this method was illustrated by conversion of the products to various compounds such as epoxy γ-butyrolactone, tertiary β-hydroxy ketone and epoxy diester.

Abstract
Hydroboration of amides is a useful synthetic strategy to access the corresponding amines. In this contribution, it was found that the supported lanthanum benzyl material La(CH2C6H4NMe2-o)3@SBA-15 was highly active for the hydroboration of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides to amines with pinacolborane. These reactions selectively produced target amines and showed good tolerance for functional groups such as -NO2, -halogen, and -CN, as well as heteroatoms such as S and O. This reduction procedure exhibited the recyclable and reusable property of heterogeneous catalysts and was applicable to gram-scale synthesis. The reaction mechanisms were proposed based on some control experiments and the previous literature. This is the first example of hydroborative reduction of amides to amines mediated by heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Selective oxidation is one of the most important and challenging transformations in both academic research and chemical industry. Recently, a highly selective and efficient way to synthesize biologically active γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated molecules from Cu-catalyzed vinylogous aerobic oxidation of α,β- and β,γ-unsaturated compounds has been developed. However, the detailed reaction mechanism remains elusive. Herein, we report a density functional theory study on this Cu-catalyzed vinylogous aerobic oxidation of γ,γ-disubstituted α,β- and β,γ-unsaturated isomers. Our computational study unveils detailed mechanism for each elementary step, i.e. deprotonation, O2 activation, and reduction. Besides, the origin of regioselectivity, divergent reactivities of substrates as well as reducing agents, and the byproduct generation have also been investigated. Notably, the copper catalyst retains the + 2 oxidation state through the whole catalytic cycle and plays essential roles in multiple steps. These findings would provide hints on mechanistic studies and future development of transition metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidation reactions.

Abstract
The synthesis of γ-chiral borylalkanes through copper-catalyzed enantioselective SN2'-reduction of γ,γ-disubstituted allylic substrates and subsequent hydroboration was reported. A copper-DTBM-Segphos catalyst produced a range of γ-chiral alkylboronates from easily accessible allylic acetate or benzoate with high enantioselectivities up to 99% ee. Furthermore, selective organic transformations of the resulting γ-chiral alkylboronates generated the corresponding γ-chiral alcohol, arene and amine compounds.
