Abstract
Developing a general, highly efficient, and enantioselective catalytic method for the synthesis of chiral alcohols is still a formidable challenge. We report in this article the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of N-methyliminodiacetyl (MIDA) acylboronates as a general substrate-independent entry to enantioenriched secondary alcohols. ATH of acyl-MIDA-boronates with (het)aryl, alkyl, alkynyl, alkenyl, and carbonyl substituents delivers a variety of enantioenriched α-boryl alcohols. The latter are used in a range of stereospecific transformations based on the boron moiety, enabling the synthesis of carbinols with two closely related α-substituents, which cannot be obtained with high enantioselectivities using direct asymmetric hydrogenation methods, such as the (R)-cloperastine intermediate. Computational studies illustrate that the BMIDA group is a privileged enantioselectivity-directing group in Noyori-Ikariya ATH compared to the conventionally used aryl and alkynyl groups due to the favorable CH-O attractive electrostatic interaction between the η6-arene-CH of the catalyst and the σ-bonded oxygen atoms in BMIDA. The work expands the domain of conventional ATH and shows its huge potential in addressing challenges in symmetric synthesis.

Abstract
Vinylidene rearrangement of alkynes is a well-established and powerful method for alkyne transformations, while use of borylalkynes has remained largely unexplored. This paper describes vinylidene rearrangements of internal borylalkynes using a cationic ruthenium complex. This rearrangement is applicable to alkynes with both tri-(B(pin), B(dan)) and tetracoordinate (B(mida)) boryl groups, and the reaction rate is dramatically affected by the Lewis acidity of the boryl group. Mechanistic study revealed that the rearrangement proceeds via 1,2-boryl migration regardless of the coordination number of the boron center. The migration mode was elucidated by theoretical calculations to indicate that the migration of the tricoordinate boryl groups is an electrophilic process in contrast to the previous vinylidene rearrangements of internal alkynes with two carbon substituents.

Abstract
The synthesis of allenyl boronates is an important yet challenging topic in organic synthesis. Reported herein is an NHC-gold-catalyzed 1,3-H shift toward allenyl boronates synthesis from simple propargylic B(MIDA)s. Mechanistic studies suggest dual roles of the boryl moiety in the reaction: to activate the substrate for isomerization and at the same time, to prevent the allene product from further isomerization. These effects should be a result of α-anion stabilization and α-cation destabilization conferred by the B(MIDA) moiety, respectively. The NHC-Au catalyst, which is commercially available, is also found to be reactive in alkyne-to-1,3-diene isomerization reactions in an atom-economic and base-free manner.

Abstract
Discovered in the 19th century, ethyl acetoacetate has been central to the development of organic chemistry, including its pedagogy and applications. In this study, we present borylated derivatives of this venerable molecule. A boron handle has been installed at either α ${{\rm \alpha }}$ - or β ${\beta }$ -position of acetoacetate by homologation of acyl-MIDA (N-methyliminodiacetic acid) boronates with diazoacetates. Either alkyl or boryl groups were found to migrate with regiochemistry being a function of the steric bulk of the diazo species. Boryl β ${{\rm \beta }}$ -ketoesters can be further modified into borylated pyrazolones and oximes, thereby expanding the synthetic toolkit and offering opportunities for additional modifications.

Abstract
The present paper reports a remote carbon-to-carbon boryl migration via an intramolecular 1,4-B/Cu shift, which establishes an in situ stereospecific electrophilic trap on the alkene moiety. The synthetic application is developed to prepare functionalized cyclopentenes by means of a palladium-catalyzed regioselective intramolecular coupling that completes a strategic cyclopropanation and generates valuable structural bicyclic systems. The mechanism is characterized by DFT (density functional theory) calculations which showed that the 1,4-migration proceeds through an intramolecular, nucleophilic attack of the copper-alkyl moiety on the boron atom bonded to the C(sp2), leading to a 5-membered boracycle structure. The computation of the 1,3- and 1,4-B/Cu shifts is also compared as is the impact of the endo- or exocyclic alkene on the reaction kinetics.

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
Multifunctional organoboron compounds increasingly enable the simple generation of complex, Csp3 -rich small molecules. The ability of boron-containing functional groups to modify the reactivity of α-radicals has also enabled a myriad of chemical reactions. Boronic esters with vacant p-orbitals have a significant stabilizing effect on α-radicals due to delocalization of spin density into the empty orbital. The effect of coordinatively saturated derivatives, such as N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) boronates and counterparts, remains less clear. Herein, we demonstrate that coordinatively saturated MIDA and TIDA boronates stabilize secondary alkyl α-radicals via σB-N hyperconjugation in a manner that allows site-selective C-H bromination. DFT calculated radical stabilization energies and spin density maps as well as LED NMR kinetic analysis of photochemical bromination rates of different boronic esters further these findings. This work clarifies that the α-radical stabilizing effect of boronic esters does not only proceed via delocalization of radical character into vacant boron p-orbitals, but that hyperconjugation of tetrahedral boron-containing functional groups and their ligand electron delocalizing ability also play a critical role. These findings establish boron ligands as a useful dial for tuning reactivity at the α-carbon.

Abstract
Electrophilic addition reaction to alkynes is of fundamental importance in organic chemistry, yet the regiocontrol when reacting with unsymmetrical 1,2-dialkyl substituted alkynes is often problematic. Herein, it is demonstrated that the rarely recognized β-boron effect can confer a high level of site-selectivity in several alkyne electrophilic addition reactions. A broad range of highly functionalized and complex organoborons are thus formed under simple reaction conditions starting from propargylic MIDA (N-methyliminodiacetic acid) boronates. These products are demonstrated to be valuable building blocks in organic synthesis. In addition to the regiocontrol, this study also observes a drastic rate enhancement upon B(MIDA) substitution. Theoretical calculation reveals that the highest occupied molecular obital (HOMO) energy level of propargylic B(MIDA) is significantly raised by 0.3 eV, and the preferential electrophilic addition to the γ position is due to its higher HOMO orbital coefficient and more negative natural bond orbital (NBO) charge compared to the β position. This study demonstrates the potential of utilizing the β-boron effect in stereoelectronic control of chemical transformations, which can inspire further research in this area.

Abstract
Aminoboronic acid derivatives can serve as versatile synthetic intermediates and pharmacophores but remain difficult to synthesize. Herein we report a synthesis of the β-aminoboronic acid motif via anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of vinylboronates. This reaction benefits from the activating effect of the boronate substituent and forms novel BON-containing heterocycles, oxazaborolidine zwitterions. A computational study is included to help determine the effects of alkene boron substitution. Derivatization reactions also support the synthetic utility of the oxazaborolidine adducts.

Abstract
An oxidative strategy is reported to access α-oxo BMIDA gold carbenes directly from BMIDA-terminated alkynes. Besides offering expedient access to seldom studied boryl metal carbenes, these BMIDA gold carbene species undergo facile insertions into methyl, methylene, methine, and benzylic C-H bonds in the absence of the Thorpe-Ingold effect. They also undergo efficient OH insertion, cyclopropanation, and F-C alkylations. This chemistry provides rapid access to structurally diverse α-BMIDA ketones, which are scarcely documented. In combination with DFT studies, the role of BMIDA is established to be an electron-donating group that attenuates the high electrophilicity of the gold carbene center.

Abstract
Electrophilic addition to alkenes is a textbook-taught reaction, yet it is not always possible to control the regioselectivity of addition to unsymmetrical 1,2-disubstituted substrates. We report the observation and applications of the β-boron effect that accounts for high regioselectivity in electrophilic addition reactions to allylic MIDA (N-methyliminodiacetic acid) boronates. While the well-established β-silicon effect bears partial resemblance to the observed reactivity, the silyl group is typically lost during functionalization. In contrast, the boryl moiety is retained in the product when B(MIDA) is used as the nucleophilic stabilizer. Mechanistic studies elucidate the origin of this effect and demonstrate how σ(C-B) hyperconjugation helps stabilize the incipient carbocation. This transformation represents a rare example of the stereospecific hydrohalogenation of secondary allyl MIDA-boronates that proceeds in a syn-fashion.

Abstract
We describe a 1,3-boron shift-type reaction of homoallenylboronates at the center (sp) carbon in allenes to afford 2-boryl-1,3-dienes with a variety of substituents. Notably, this reaction occurs in situ with allenylboronates in the presence of carbamate and a small excess of sec-BuLi, and it is not necessary to isolate the unstable homoallenylboronates.

Abstract
α-Boryl ketones are traditionally challenging targets in organic synthesis. Reported herein is a mild and metal-free synthesis of α-boryl ketones via the hydration or oxidation of N-methyliminodiacetyl boronate (B(MIDA))-decorated alkynes. A new hydration system comprised of AcCl and H2O in HFIP allows the hydration of arylethynyl B(MIDA)s at room temperature with decent functional group tolerance. An oxidative carbon deletion process of propargylic B(MIDA)s is also developed for the synthesis of aliphatic α-boryl ketones. An intriguing β-boron effect was observed to account for the unique site- and chemoselectivities. The application of the products in the synthesis of borylated heterocycles was demonstrated.

Abstract
For internal alkenes possessing two or more sets of electronically and sterically similar allylic protons, the site-selectivity for allylic C-H functionalization is fundamentally challenging. Previously, the negative inductive effect from an electronegative atom has been demonstrated to be effective for several inspiring regioselective C-H functionalization reactions. Yet, the use of an electropositive atom for a similar purpose remains to be developed. α-Aminoboronic acids and their derivatives have found widespread applications. Their current syntheses rely heavily on functional group manipulations. Herein we report a boryl-directed intermolecular C-H amination of allyl N-methyliminodiacetyl boronates (B(MIDA)s) and propargylic B(MIDA)s to give α-amino boronates with an exceptionally high level of site-selectivities (up to 300:1). A wide variety of highly functionalized secondary and tertiary α-amino boronates are formed in generally good to excellent yields, thanks to the mildness of the reaction conditions. The unsaturated double and triple bonds within the product leave room for further decorations. Mechanistic studies reveal that the key stabilization effect of the B(MIDA) moiety on its adjacent developing positive charge is responsible for the high site-selectivity and that a closed transition state might be involved, as the reaction is fully stereoretentive. An activation effect of B(MIDA) is also found.

Abstract
The selenium-π-acid-catalysis has received increasing attention as a powerful tool for olefin functionalization, but the regioselectivity is often problematic. Reported herein is a selenium-catalyzed regiocontrolled olefin transpositional chlorination and imidation reaction. The reaction outcome benefits from an allylic B(MIDA) substitution. And the stabilization of α-anion from a hemilabile B(MIDA) moiety was believed to be the key factor for selectivity. Broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance and generally good yields were observed. The formed products were demonstrated to be valuable precursors for the synthesis of a wide variety of structurally complex organoborons.

Abstract
The behavior of the tetracoordinate boron of N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) boronates as a nucleophile and an electrophile during the 1,2-boryl migration promoted by a Lewis acid and the 1,4-boryl migration promoted by a neighboring atom, respectively, have been investigated using density functional theory and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules. We found that when boron acts as a nucleophile, the electron density of the B-N interaction of the BMIDA moiety maintains the charge concentration over the boron atom, facilitating its transport toward the electron-deficient center. In this process, the BMIDA remains as a tetracoordinate. On the other hand, the B-N weakening generates a charge depletion region over the boron, allowing it to interact with the electron-rich center of O1, developing the boron atom, a pentacoordinate form. Then, the B-N bond breaking triggers a series of changes in the electronic structure of the boron atom. Our results explain the role of the MIDA ligand upon the remarkable susceptibility of the boron atom for switching its structural and electronic characteristics in the migration processes. In addition, the dichotomous behavior was evaluated with a different scenario, considering tricoordinate pinacol boronate as a boryl migrating group.

Abstract
The electrophilic fluorination of geminal alkyl substituted vinyl‐Bmida derivatives proceeds via bora‐Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement. According to DFT modelling studies this rearrangement occurs with a low activation barrier via a bora‐cyclopropane shaped TS. The Bmida group has a larger migration aptitude than the alkyl moiety in the Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement of the presented electrophilic fluorination reactions.

Abstract
Potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) undergo chemoselective amide-forming ligations with hydroxylamines. Under aqueous, acidic conditions these ligations can proceed rapidly, with rate constants of ∼20 M-1 s-1. The requirement for lower pH to obtain the fastest rates, however, limits their use with certain biomolecules and precludes in vivo applications. By mechanistic investigations into the KAT ligation, including kinetic studies, X-ray crystallography, and DFT calculations, we have identified a key role for a proton in accelerating the ligation. We applied this knowledge to the design and synthesis of 8-quinolyl acyltrifluoroborates, a new class of KATs that ligates with hydroxylamines at pH 7.4 with rate constants >4 M-1 s-1. We trace the enhanced rate at physiological pH to unexpectedly high basicity of the 8-quinoline-KATs, which leads to their protonation even under neutral conditions. This proton assists the formation of the key tetrahedral intermediate and activates the leaving groups on the hydroxylamine toward a concerted 1,2-BF3 shift that leads to the amide product. We demonstrate that the fast ligations at pH 7.4 can be carried out with a protein substrate at micromolar concentrations.

Abstract
Several studies have established that cancer cells explicitly over-express the less active isoform of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is critical for tumorigenesis. The activation of PKM2 towards tetramer formation may increase affinity towards phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and avoidance of the Warburg effect. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, and development of boronic acid-based molecules as activators of PKM2. The designed molecules were inspired by existing anticancer scaffolds and several fragments were assembled in the derivatives. 6a-6d were synthesized using a multi-step synthetic strategy in 55-70% yields, starting from cheap and readily available materials. The compounds were selectively cytotoxic to kill the cancerous cells at 80 nM, while they were non-toxic to the normal cells. The kinetic studies established the compounds as novel activators of PKM2 and (E/Z)-(4-(3-(2-((4-chlorophenyl)amino)-4-(dimethylamino)thiazol-5-yl)-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl) phenyl)boronic acid (6c) emerged as the most potent derivative. 6c was further evaluated using various in silico tools to understand the molecular mechanism of tetramer formation. Docking studies revealed that 6c binds to the PKM2 dimer at the dimeric interface. Further to ascertain the binding site and mechanism of action, rigorous MD (molecular dynamics) simulations were undertaken, which led to the conclusion that 6c stabilizes the center of the dimeric interface that possibly promotes tetramer formation. We further planned to make a tablet of the developed molecule for oral delivery, but it was seriously impeded owing to poor aqueous solubility of 6c. To improve aqueous solubility and retain 6c at the lower gastrointestinal tract, thiolated chitosan-based nanoparticles (TCNPs) were prepared and further developed as tablet dosage form to retain anticancer potency in the excised goat colon. Our findings may provide a valuable pharmacological mechanism for understanding metabolic underpinnings that may aid in the clinical development of new anticancer agents targeting PKM2.

Abstract
We report a catalytic cross-coupling process between aryl (pseudo)halides and boron-based acyl anion equivalents. This mode of acylboronate reactivity represents polarity reversal, which is supported by the observation of tetracoordinated boronate and acyl palladium(II) species by 11B, 31P NMR, and mass spectrometry. A broad scope of aliphatic and aromatic acylboronates has been examined, as well as a variety of aryl (pseudo)halides.

Abstract
Once considered as mere curiosities, acyl metalloids are now recognized for their utility in enabling chemical synthesis. This perspective considers the reactivity displayed by acylboron, -silicon, -germanium, and tellurium species. By highlighting the role of these species in various transformations, we demonstrate how differences between the comprising elements result in varied reaction outcomes. While acylboron compounds are primarily used in polar transformations, germanium and tellurium species have found utility as radical precursors. Applications of acylsilanes are comparatively more diverse, owing to the possibility to access both radical and polar chemistry.

Abstract
The application of carboxy-MIDA-boronate (MIDA=N-methyliminodiacetic acid) as an in situ CO surrogate for various palladium-catalyzed transformations is described. Carboxy-MIDA-boronate was previously shown to be a bench-stable boron-containing building block for the synthesis of borylated heterocycles. The present study demonstrates that, in addition to its utility as a precursor to heterocycle synthesis, carboxy-MIDA-boronate is an excellent in situ CO surrogate that is tolerant of reactive functionalities such as amines, alcohols, and carbon-based nucleophiles. Its wide functional-group compatibility is highlighted in the palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation, alkoxycarbonylation, carbonylative Sonogashira coupling, and carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl halides. A variety of amides, esters, (hetero)aromatic ynones, and bis(hetero)aryl ketones were synthesized in good-to-excellent yields in a one-pot fashion.

Abstract
Cyclic boronate esters play important roles in organic synthesis, pharmacology, supramolecular chemistry and materials science owing to their stability in air and versatile reactivity. Most of these compounds contain a B-O-C linkage with an alkoxy- or carboxylate group bound to the boron atom (e.g. boronate-diol esters, MIDA boronates). Boron chelates comprising a B-O-N motif (BON heterocycles) are much less explored, although first representatives of this class were prepared in the early 1960s. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in BON heterocycles as new chemotypes for drug design. The exocyclic B-O-N linkage, which is readily formed under mild conditions, shows surprising hydrolytic and thermal resistance. This allows the formation of BON heterocycles to be used as click-type reactions for the preparation of bioconjugates and functionally modified polymers. We believe that BON heterocycles are promising yet underrated organoboron derivatives. This review summarizes the scattered information about known types of BON heterocycles, including their synthesis, reactivity and structural data. Available applications of BON heterocycles in materials science and medicinal chemistry, along with their prospects, are also discussed. The bibliography contains 289 references.

Abstract
Herein we report that coordinative hemilability allows the MIDA (N-methyliminodiacetic acid) nitrogen to behave as a nucleophile and intramolecularly intercept palladium π-allyl intermediates. A mechanistic investigation indicates that this rearrangement proceeds through an SN2-like displacement at tetrasubstituted boron to furnish novel DABN boronates. Oxidative addition into the N-C bond of the DABN scaffold furnishes borylated π-allyl intermediates that can then be trapped with a variety of nucleophiles, including in a three-component coupling.

Abstract
The literature on cycloaddition reactions of boron-containing alkenes is surveyed with 132 references. The data are categorized according to the reaction type ([2+1], [2+2], [3+2], [4+2], and [4+3] cycloadditions). The cyclopropanation and the Diels–Alder reactions of alkenylboronic derivatives have been studied more or less comprehensively, and for some substrates, they can be considered as convenient methods for the rapid regio- and stereoselective construction of even complex cyclic systems. Other types of the cycloadditions, as well as mechanistic aspects of the processes, have been addressed less thoroughly in the previous works.1 Introduction2 [2+1] Cycloaddition2.1 Cyclopropanation2.1.1 With Methylene Synthetic Equivalents2.1.2 With Substituted Carbenoids2.2 Epoxidation2.3 Aziridination3 [2+2] Cycloaddition4 [3+2] Cycloaddition4.1 With Nitrile Oxides4.2 With Diazoalkanes4.3 With Nitrones4.4 With Azomethine Ylides5 [4+2] Cycloaddition6 [4+3] Cycloaddition7 Conclusions and Outlook

Abstract
1,2-Bis-boronic esters are versatile intermediates that enable the rapid elaboration of simple alkene precursors. Previous reports on their selective mono-functionalization have targeted the most accessible position, retaining the more hindered secondary boronic ester. In contrast, we have found that photoredox-catalyzed mono-deboronation generates primary β-boryl radicals that undergo rapid 1,2-boron shift to form thermodynamically favored secondary radicals, allowing for selective transformation of the more hindered boronic ester. The pivotal 1,2-boron shift, which has been demonstrated to be stereoretentive, enables access to a wide range of functionalized boronic esters and has been applied to highly diastereoselective fragmentation and transannular cyclization reactions. Furthermore, its generality has been shown in a radical cascade reaction with an allylboronic ester.

Abstract
A cornerstone of modern synthetic chemistry rests on the ability to manipulate the reactivity of a carbon center by rendering it either electrophilic or nucleophilic. However, accessing a similar reactivity spectrum with boron-based reagents has been significantly more challenging. While classical nucleophilic carbon-based reagents normally do not require steric protection, readily accessible, unprotected boron-based nucleophiles have not yet been realized. Herein, we demonstrate that the bench stable closo-hexaborate cluster anion can engage in a nucleophilic substitution reaction with a wide array of organic and main group electrophiles. The resulting molecules containing B‒C bonds can be further converted to tricoordinate boron species widely used in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Novel and mild synthesis of MIDA acylboronates including a novel class of acylborons and first chemoselective oxidation of geminal diborylalkanes.
Acylboronates represent a very intriguing and rare class of organoboronates. Synthesis of these compounds from readily available substrates under mild conditions and access to novel classes of acylborons has been challenging. We report a novel and concise route to various MIDA acylboronates from terminal alkynes/alkenes or vinyl boronic esters using unsymmetrical geminal diborylalkanes as key intermediates. The high modularity and mild conditions of this strategy allowed a facile access to acylboronates possessing aliphatic, aromatic as well as the rarer heteroaromatic, alkynyl and α,β-unsaturated scaffolds. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of chemoselective oxidation of geminal diborons as well as synthesis of an α,β-unsaturated acylboronate.

Abstract
Useful α-boryl esters can be synthesized in one step from α,β-unsaturated esters using just a simple to access NHC-BH3 (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) and catalytic I2. The scope of this reductive α-borylation methodology is excellent and includes a range of alkyl, aryl substituted and cyclic and acyclic α,β-unsaturated esters. Mechanistic studies involving reductive borylation of a cyclic α,β-unsaturated ester with NHC-BD3/I2 indicated that concerted hydroboration of the alkene moiety in the α,β-unsaturated ester proceeds instead of a stepwise process involving initial 1,4-hydroboration; this is in contrast to the recently reported reductive α-silylation. The BH2(NHC) unit can be transformed into electrophilic BX2(NHC) moieties (X = halide) and the ester moiety can be reduced to the alcohol with the borane unit remaining intact to form β-boryl alcohols. The use of a chiral auxiliary, 8-phenylmenthyl ester, also enables effective stereo-control of the newly formed C-B bond. Combined two step ester reduction/borane oxidation forms diols, including excellent e.e. (97%) for the formation of S-3-phenylpropane-1,2-diol. This work represents a simple transition metal free route to form bench stable α-boryl esters from inexpensive starting materials.
