Abstract
A protocol induced by visible light for the direct insertion of α-carbonyl carbenes into the B-H bond of amine-borane adducts has been developed under conditions that are free of metal and photocatalyst. This approach provides a straightforward route to various organoboron compounds from diazo compounds and amine-borane adducts with moderate to good yields. Mechanistic investigations reveal that this photoinduced reaction proceeds through concerted carbene insertion into the B-H bond, and the photoinduced generation of free carbene from α-diazo esters may be the rate-determining step.

Abstract
A sustainable and metal-free protocol has been described for the reduction of unprotected indoles. The catalytic system consists of B(C6 F5 )3 and THF as a Lewis acid-base pair that can activate the B-H bond of pincolborane (HBpin). The catalytic system encompasses a broad substrate scope. Control experiments were conducted to understand the possible catalytic intermediates involved during the present protocol.

Abstract
We report herein the synthesis and characterization of nickel complexes supported by tridentate and bidentate phosphino(silyl) ancillary ligands, along with the successful application of these complexes as precatalysts for the hydroboration of terminal and internal alkenes using pinacolborane (HBPin). These reactions proceeded with low nickel loadings of 2.5-5 mol % in the absence of co-solvent, and in some cases at room temperature. Isomerization to afford exclusively the terminal hydroboration product was obtained across a range of internal alkenes, including tri- and tetra-substituted examples. This reactivity is unprecedented for nickel and offers a powerful means of achieving functionalization at a C-H position remote from the C=C double bond. Nickel-catalyzed deuteroboration experiments using DBPin support a mechanism involving 1,2-insertion of the alkene and subsequent chain-walking, which results in isotopic scrambling.

Abstract
Organoboron showed great potential in the synthesis of various high-value chemical compounds. Direct hydroboration of olefins has been witnessed over time as a mainstream method for the synthesis of organoboron compounds. In this work, an electroreductive anti-Markovnikov hydroboration approach of olefins with readily available B2pin2 to synthesize valuable organoboron compounds with high chemo- and regioselectivities under metal catalyst-free conditions was reported. This protocol exhibited broad substrate scope and good functional-group tolerance on styrenes and heteroaromatic olefins, providing synthetically useful alkylborons with high efficiency and even various deuterium borylation products with good D-incorporation when CD3CN was employed as solvent. Furthermore, gram-scale reactions and extensive functional derivatization further highlighted the potential of this method.

Abstract
Direct coupling of unactivated alcohols remains a challenge in synthetic chemistry. Current approaches to cross-coupling of alcohol-derived electrophiles often involve activated alcohols such as tosylates or carbonates. We report the direct arylative substitution of homoallylic alcohols catalyzed by a nickel-bisphosphine complex as a facile method to generate allylic arenes. These reactions proceed via formation of an allylic alcohol intermediate. Subsequent allylic substitution with arylboroxine nucleophiles enables the formation of a variety of allylic arenes. The presence of p-methoxyphenylboronic acid is crucial to activate the allylic alcohol to achieve high product yields.

Abstract
The enantioselective synthesis of bis-homoallylic alcohols through nickel-catalyzed three-component fragment couplings of simple aldehydes, dienes, and aryl organoborons is disclosed. The reactions proceed through diene dicarbofunctionalization that concurrently forms two C-C bonds and two stereogenic centers. The transformations are promoted by a 5.0 mol % loading of a readily accessible chiral phosphine-nickel complex and afford products with high stereoselectivity.
