Abstract
The implementation of selective catalytic processes with highly active reagents is an attractive strategy that meets the modern principles of sustainable development of chemistry. In the current study, we for the first time describe the method and general principles of Cu(I)-catalyzed allylation of imines with amine adducts of allylic triorganoboranes. Triallylborane is an extremely reactive compound and cannot be used for the catalytic allylation of imines, whereas its amine adducts are ideal substrates for catalysis. The structure of the amine fragment successfully balances the safety, selectivity and stability of the allylboron reagent, allowing it to demonstrate high activity in catalytic allylation reactions, exceeding many times any known allylboranes. The obtained results are supported by quantitative kinetics data and DFT calculations. The catalytic efficacy of the system was demonstrated on model sulfinylimines (23 examples). High diastereoselectivity up to >99% was achieved, including for the gram-scale synthesis of 2-hydroxyphenyl-derivatives. Taking into account the high reactivity and unsurpassed atom-economy of amine adducts of triallylborane (AAT), they can be considered as prospective allylation reagents with Cu(I) and other appropriate metallocatalysts.

Abstract
Boron-containing compounds (BCC) have emerged as important pharmacophores. To date, five BCC drugs (including boronic acids and boroles) have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of cancer, infections, and atopic dermatitis, while some natural BCC are included in dietary supplements. Boron's Lewis acidity facilitates a mechanism of action via formation of reversible covalent bonds within the active site of target proteins. Boron has also been employed in the development of fluorophores, such as BODIPY for imaging, and in carboranes that are potential neutron capture therapy agents as well as novel agents in diagnostics and therapy. The utility of natural and synthetic BCC has become multifaceted, and the breadth of their applications continues to expand. This review covers the many uses and targets of boron in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Developing new strategies to enable chemo- and regioselective reductions is an important topic in chemical research. Herein, an efficient and regioselective Pd/IPrBIDEA-catalyzed ring-opening hydrodefluorination of gem-difluorocyclopropanes to access terminal fluoroalkenes is developed. The success of this transformation was attributed to the use of 3,3-dimethylallyl Bpin as a novel hydride donor. DFT calculations suggest that a direct 3,4'-hydride transfer via a 9-membered cyclic transition state is more favorable, which combined with the irreversibility of the reaction enables the unusual selectivity for the less thermodynamically stable terminal alkene isomer. This reaction mode is also applicable to a variety of regioselective allylic and propargyl reductions.

Abstract
A practical and efficient propargylboration of ketones is presented using general allenylboronic acid pinacol esters (allenyl-Bpins) without a catalyst. This reaction is triggered by in-situ activation of stable allenyl-Bpins through the sequential addition of 1.25 equiv. of n BuLi and the prerequisite 2.0 equiv. of TFAA. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the versatile trisubstituted allenyl-Bpins react with various ketones smoothly to afford a wide range of tert-homopropargyl alcohols bearing vicinal stereocenters in high yields with good to excellent diastereoselectivities. Furthermore, propargylboration of ketones with chiral trisubstituted allenyl-Bpins allows for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral tert-homopropargyl alcohols with a full chirality transfer.

Abstract
In recent years, numerous 1,2-R shift (R = aliphatic or aryl) based on tetracoordinate boron species have been well investigated. In the contrary, the corresponding radical migrations, especially 1,2-boryl radical shift for the construction of organoborons is still in its infancy. Given the paucity and significance of such strategies in boron chemistry, it is urgent to develop other efficient and alternative synthetic protocols to enrich these underdeveloped radical 1,2-boron migrations, before their fundamental potential applications could be fully explored at will. Herein, we have demonstrated a visible-light-induced photoredox neutral decarboxylative radical cross-coupling reaction, which undergoes a radical 1,2-boron shift to give a translocated C-radical for further capture of versatile radical acceptors. The mild reaction conditions, good functional-group tolerance, and broad β-boryl NHPI esters scope as well as versatile radical acceptors make this protocol applicable in modification of bioactive molecules. It can be expected that this methodology will be a very useful tool and an alternative strategy for the construction of primary organoborons via a novel radical 1,2-boron shift mode.

Abstract
Boronic acids have become one of the most prevalent classes of reagents in modern organic synthesis, displaying various reactivity profiles via C-B bond cleavage. Herein, we describe the utilization of a readily available boronic acid as an efficient surrogate of hydroxide upon activation via fluoride complexation. The hitherto unknown aryne induced ring-opening reaction of cyclic sulfides and three-component coupling of fluoro-azaarenes are developed to exemplify the application value. Different from metal hydroxides or water, this novel hydroxy source displays mild activation conditions, great functionality tolerance and structural tunability, which shall engender a new synthetic paradigm and in a broad context offer new blueprints for organoboron chemistry. Detailed computational studies also recognize the fluoride activation mode, provide in-depth insights into the unprecedented mechanistic pathway and elucidate the reactivity difference of ArB(OH) x F y complexes, which fully support the experimental data.

In this work, we
demonstrate how allylative dearomatization of
benzyl chlorides can provide direct access to a variety of semibenzenes.
These scaffolds behave as highly reactive nucleophiles in the presence
of carbocations. In addition, semibenzenes are susceptible to intramolecular
rearrangements rendering a broad scope of functionalized arenes. An
analysis of this new reactivity is reported, as well as the rationale
behind the observed intramolecular reorganizations.

Abstract
Tetracoordinate boron species have emerged as radical precursors via deboronation by photo-induced single electron transfer (SET) pathway. These reactions usually produce an alkyl radical and boron-bound species, and the valuable boron species are always discarded as a by-product. Given the importance of boron species, it will be very attractive if the two parts could be incorporated into the eventual products. Herein we report a photo-catalyzed strategy in which in situ generated tetracoordinated boron species decomposed into both alkyl radicals and boron species under visible light irradiation, due to the pre-installation of a vinyl group on the aromatic ring, the newly generated alkyl radical attacks the vinyl group while leaving the boron species on ipso-position, then both radical part and boron moiety are safely incorporated into the final product. Tertiary borons, secondary borons, gem-diborons as well as 1,2-diborons, and versatile electrophiles are all well tolerated under this transformation, of note, ortho-, meta- and para-bromostyrenes all demonstrated good capabilities. The reaction portraits high atom economy, broad substrate scope, and diversified valuable products with tertiary or quaternary carbon center generated, with diborons as substrates, Csp2-B and Csp3-B are established simultaneously, which are precious synthetic building blocks in chemical synthesis. Tetracoordinate boron species are common radical precursors in organic synthesis, but the boron species are discarded as by-products. Herein the authors report a strategy to incorporate both the alkyl moiety and boron species into the eventual products, yielding organoboron compounds.

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.

A convenient method for the dienylation of N-benzoylhydrazones in water has been developed. This protocol expanded the synthetic application of functionalized homoallenylboronates to provide the useful 2-aminomethyl-1,3-diene derivatives with high efficiency (up to 99% yield) and stereoselectivity without using any catalyst, additive or inert atmosphere. Furthermore, the transformation of a 2-aminomethyl-1,3-diene derivative to synthesize a functionalized pyrrolidine derivative was also explored.

Abstract
The origins of reactivity of strain-increase allylborations were computationally investigated. The low reactivity of vinylcyclopropyl boronates is due to weak electronic interactions between benzaldehyde and allylboronates. By increasing the acidity...

Abstract
Multisubstituted allylic boronates are attractive and valuable precursors for the rapid and stereoselective construction of densely substituted carbon skeletons. Herein, we report the first synthetic approach for differentially 2,3,3-trialkyl-substituted allylic boronates that contain a stereodefined tetrasubstituted alkene structure. Copper(I)-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective three-component coupling reactions between gem-dialkylallenes, alkyl halides, and a diboron reagent afforded sterically congested allylic boronates. The allylboration of aldehydes diastereoselectively furnished the corresponding homoallylic alcohols that bear a quaternary carbon. A computational study revealed that the selectivity-determining mechanism was correlated to the coordination of a boryl copper(I) species to the allene substrate as well as the borylcupration step.

Abstract
1-Sulfonylcyclopropanols are employed here as efficient cyclopropanone equivalents in a formal vinylidene insertion process, providing the first general synthetic route to enantioenriched alkylidenecyclobutanones. The addition of an alkenyl-Grignard reagent leads to an alkenylcyclopropanol capable of electrophilic activation by N-bromosuccinimide, triggering a regio- and stereospecific 1,2-migration and affording alkylidenecyclobutanones after elimination. Activation of the intermediate with other electrophiles such as HCl or mCPBA leads to the formation of various chiral cyclobutanones and γ-lactones via alternative pathways.
