Abstract
Site-specific functionalization of the secondary C-B bond of 1,2-bis-boronic esters has been proven to be an important method for the generation of 1,2-bis-functionalized compounds in a highly stereoselective manner. We have explored previously unknown secondary selective alkenylation, allylation, alkynylation and addition to aryl vinyl trifluoromethane, which proceeds via a novel reaction mechanism: alkoxide-mediated photoredox activation to generate secondary radicals over the primary one.

Abstract
Alkyllithium-activated organoboronic esters are found to undergo stereospecific phosphination with copper chloride and chlorophosphines. They also react with thiolsulfonate electrophiles under copper catalysis. These reactions enable stereospecific phosphination and thiolation of organoboronic esters, which are further applied in preparation of chiral ligands and biologically active molecules.

Abstract
Two enantioselective approaches to synthesize chiral skipped diboronate compounds have been developed, relying on copper-catalyzed one-pot asymmetric ring-opening diboration of arylidenecyclopropanes. A wide range of arylidenecyclopropanes react smoothly with HBpin in the presence of CuOAc and (R)-DTBM-Segphos, affording chiral 1,4-diboronates with high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). Meanwhile, a variety of arylidenecyclopropanes react selectively with HBpin and B2pin2 in the presence of CuOAc and (S,S)-Ph-BPE with the sequential addition of MeOH, providing chiral 1,3-diboronates with high enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee). These enantioenriched 1,3- and 1,4-diboronates can undergo various enantiospecific transformations with minimal loss of their enantiopurity. Mechanistic studies reveal that these two diboration processes start with CuH-catalyzed ring-opening hydroboration of arylidenecyclopropanes to form a mixture of Z/E-homoallyl boronate intermediates, which subsequently undergo enantioselective CuH-catalyzed second hydroboration or Cu-Bpin-catalyzed protoboration to produce chiral 1,4-diboronates or 1,3-diboronates, respectively.

Abstract
The construction of acyclic, non-adjacent 1,3-stereogenic centers, prevalent motifs in drugs and bioactive molecules, has been a long-standing synthetic challenge due to acyclic nucleophiles being distant from the chiral environment. In this study, we successfully synthesized highly valuable 1,2-bis(boronic) esters featuring acyclic and nonadjacent 1,3-stereocenters. Notably, this reaction selectively produces migratory coupling products rather than alternative deborylative allylation or direct allylation byproducts. This approach introduces a new activation mode for selective transformations of gem-diborylmethane in asymmetric catalysis. Additionally, we found that other gem-diborylalkanes, previously challenging due to steric hindrance, also successfully participated in this reaction. The incorporation of 1,2-bis(boryl)alkenes facilitated the diversification of the alkenyl and two boron moieties in our target compounds, thereby enabling access to a broad array of versatile molecules. DFT calculations were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism and shed light on the factors responsible for the observed excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. These were determined to arise from ligand-substrate steric repulsions in the syn-addition transition state.

Abstract
1,3-Bis(boronic) esters can be readily synthesized from alkylBpin precursors. Selective transformations of these compounds hold the potential for late-stage functionalization of the remaining C-B bond, leading to a diverse array of molecules. Currently, there are no strategies available to address the reactivity and, more importantly, the controllable regiodivergent functionalization of 1,3-bis(boronic) esters. In this study, we have achieved controllable regiodivergent alkynylation of these molecules. The regioselectivity has been clarified based on the unique chelation patterns observed with different organometallic reagents. Remarkably, this methodology effectively addresses the low reactivity of 1,3-bis(boronic) esters and bridges the gap in radical chemistry, which typically yields only the classical products formed via stable radical intermediates. Furthermore, the compounds synthesized through this approach serve as potent building blocks for creating molecular diversity.

Abstract
The effect of tBuOK on the existing state of benzylic boronates in the solution phase has been investigated in detail by NMR analysis and DFT calculations. It was determined that simply using an excess of tBuOK (2.0 equivalents) can result in the full deborylation of benzylic boronates to afford free benzyl potassium species. These mechanistic insights were leveraged for the facile construction of β-silyl/boryl functionalized 1,1-diarylalkanes from aromatic alkenes via the combination of base-mediated silylboration or diborylation of aromatic alkenes and nucleophilic-type reactions with various electrophiles. Based on further machine-learning-assisted screening, the scope of electrophiles for this transformation can be generalized to the challenging aromatic heterocycles. Late-stage functionalization performed on several drug-relevant molecules generates the highly valuable 1,1-diaryl framework.

Abstract
All fluorochemicals-including elemental fluorine and nucleophilic, electrophilic, and radical fluorinating reagents-are prepared from hydrogen fluoride (HF). This highly toxic and corrosive gas is produced by the reaction of acid-grade fluorspar (>97% CaF2) with sulfuric acid under harsh conditions. The use of fluorspar to produce fluorochemicals via a process that bypasses HF is highly desirable but remains an unsolved problem because of the prohibitive insolubility of CaF2. Inspired by calcium phosphate biomineralization, we herein disclose a protocol of treating acid-grade fluorspar with dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (K2HPO4) under mechanochemical conditions. The process affords a solid composed of crystalline K3(HPO4)F and K2-xCay(PO3F)a(PO4)b, which is found suitable for forging sulfur-fluorine and carbon-fluorine bonds.

Abstract
Chiral secondary organoboronic esters, when activated with t-butyllithium, are shown to undergo efficient stereoretentive transmetalation with either zinc acetate or zinc chloride. This reaction provides chiral secondary alkylzinc reagents that are configurationally stable under practical experimental conditions. The organozinc compounds were found to engage in stereospecific reactions with difluorocarbene, catalytic cross-couplings with palladium-based catalysts, and trifluoromethylation with a copper(III) complex. Mechanistic and computational studies shed light on the inner workings of the transmetalation event.

Abstract
The development of an enantioselective catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura reaction that applies to meso 1,2-diborylcycloalkanes is described. This reaction provides a modular route to enantiomerically enriched substituted carbocycles and heterocycles that retain a synthetically versatile boronic ester. With appropriately constructed substrates, compounds bearing additional stereogenic centers and fully substituted carbon atoms can be generated in a straightforward fashion. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest that substrate activation arises from the cooperative effect of vicinal boronic esters during the transmetalation step.

Abstract
Glycosides having multiple free OH groups have been shown to undergo site-selective O-arylations in the presence of arylboronic acids and copper(II) acetate. Herein, a mechanistic analysis of these Chan-Evans-Lam-type couplings is presented based on reaction kinetics, mass spectrometric analysis of reaction mixtures, and substituent effect studies. The results establish that the formation of a substrate-derived boronic ester accelerates the rate-determining transmetalation step. Intramolecular transfer of the aryl group from the boronic ester is ruled out in favor of a pathway in which the key pre-transmetalation assembly is generated from a boronic ester, a copper complex, and a second equivalent of arylboronic acid.

Abstract
Borylation has become a powerful method to synthesize organoboranes as versatile building blocks in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Copper-promoted borylation reactions are extremely attractive due to the low cost and non-toxicity of the copper catalyst, mild reaction conditions, good functional group tolerance, and convenience in chiral induction. In this review, we mainly updated recent advances (from 2020 to 2022) in the synthetic transformations in C=C/C≡C multiple bonds, and C=E multiple bonds mediated by copper boryl systems.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the catalytic enantioselective cross-coupling of 1,2-bisboronic esters. Prior work on group specific cross coupling is limited to the use of geminal bis-boronates. This desymmetrization provides a novel approach to prepare enantioenriched cyclopropyl boronates with three contiguous stereocenters, that could be further derivatized through selective functionalization of the carbon-boron bond. Our results suggest that transmetallation, which is the enantiodetermining step, takes place with retention of stereochemistry at carbon.
