Abstract
Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) contribute to bacterial cell wall biosynthesis and are targets of antibacterial agents. Here, we investigated PBP1b inhibition by boronic acid derivatives. Chemical starting points were identified by structure-based virtual screening and aliphatic boronic acids were selected for further investigations. Structure-activity relationship studies focusing on the branching of the boron-connecting carbon and quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical simulations showed that reaction barrier free energies are compatible with fast reversible covalent binding and small or missing reaction free energies limit the inhibitory activity of the investigated boronic acid derivatives. Therefore, covalent labelling of the lysine residue of the catalytic dyad was also investigated. Compounds with a carbonyl warhead and an appropriately positioned boronic acid moiety were shown to inhibit and covalently label PBP1b. Reversible covalent labelling of the catalytic lysine by imine formation and the stabilisation of the imine by dative N-B bond is a new strategy for PBP1b inhibition.

Abstract
A mild Pd-catalyzed three-component cascade cyclization functionalization of o-iodostyrenes, internal alkynes and boron reagents is presented. The transformation is driven by a controlled reaction sequence of intermolecular carbopalladation, intramolecular Heck-type cyclization, and a borylation process to give versatile boryl-functionalized indene skeletons in a selective fashion. Significantly, (Bpin)2, (Bneop)2 and CH2(Bpin)2 as boron sources are all tolerated. Additionally, the synthetic utility of this approach is demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis and synthetic transformations.

Abstract
Designing the reactant molecule of an initial reaction, based on quantum chemical pathway exploration, enabled us to access a new reaction, i.e., the tetraborylation reaction of p-benzynes generated from 1,2-diethynylbenzene derivatives, using bis(pinacolato)diborane(4) (B2pin2). Based on the reaction path network generated via the artificial-force-induced reaction (AFIR) method, desired and undesired paths were identified and used to modify the chemical structure of the reactant. After the in silico screening, the optimal structure of the reactant was determined to be a 1,2-diethynylbenzene derivative with a butylene linker. The reaction of the optimized reactant and its derivatives with an excess of B2pin2 gave the tetraborylated products in good yields (up to 58%). It is quite intriguing that the two carbons of p-benzyne behave formally as dicarbenes in this reaction.

Abstract
Stable boroxine-amine adducts comprising dative B←N bond(s) were prepared by mechanochemically-induced reactions of phenylboronic acid (PBA) and amines (pyridine, DMAP, 1H-pyrazole, piperidine, DABCO, hexamethylenetetramine, or 4,4'-bipyridine). In-situ Raman monitoring, ex-situ PXRD and DFT calculations were used for product identification. Stoichiometry of the product (3 : 1, 3 : 2 or 6 : 1 adduct) was controlled by the amine structure and the molar ratio of the reactants. The 1 : 2 H-bonded assembly of PBA and 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) was confirmed as an intermediate in the adduct formation for bpy. Competitive binding experiments indicated that the exchange of the amines in the 3 : 1 adducts follows the computed adduct stabilities that increase with the amine basicity. Following the DFT prediction, the first adduct with two different amines, DMAP and pip, bound to one boroxine moiety was isolated and structurally characterized. Results show that calculations can be used to predict possible and preferred product(s) and their spectral characteristics.

Abstract
Organoboron compounds demonstrate diverse applications in the fields of organic synthesis, materials science, and medicinal chemistry. Compared to the conventional hydroboration reaction, radical hydroboration serves as an alternative approach for the synthesis of organoborons via different mechanisms. In radical hydroboration, a boryl radical is initially generated from homolytic cleavage of a B-H or a B-B bond, which is then added to an unsaturated double bond to deliver a carbon radical. Subsequent hydrogen atom transfer or reduction of the carbon radical to form a carbanion followed by protonation gave the final product. Over the past few years, numerous efforts have been made for efficient synthesis of boryl radicals and the expansion of substrate scope of the radical hydroboration reaction. Here, we discuss the recent advancement of radical hydroboration and its associated mechanisms. Numerous radical hydroboration strategies employing N-heterocyclic carbene borane, bis(pinacolato)diboron and pinacolborane as the boron source were illustrated. Thermochemical, photochemical and electrochemical strategies for the generation of boryl radicals were also discussed in detail.

Abstract
Vibrios are associated with live seafood because they are part of the indigenous marine microflora. In Asia, foodborne infections caused by Vibrio spp. are common. In recent years, V. parahaemolyticus has become the leading cause of all reported food poisoning outbreaks. Therefore, the halogenated acid and its 33 derivatives were investigated for their antibacterial efficacy against V. parahaemolyticus. The compounds 3,5-diiodo-2-methoxyphenylboronic acid (DIMPBA) and 2-fluoro-5-iodophenylboronic acid (FIPBA) exhibited antibacterial and antibiofilm activity. DIMPBA and FIPBA had minimum inhibitory concentrations of 100 μg/mL for the planktonic cell growth and prevented biofilm formation in a dose-dependent manner. Both iodo-boric acids could diminish the several virulence factors influencing the motility, agglutination of fimbria, hydrophobicity, and indole synthesis. Consequently, these two active halogenated acids hampered the proliferation of the planktonic and biofilm cells. Moreover, these compounds have the potential to effectively inhibit the presence of biofilm formation on the surface of both squid and shrimp models.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed reductive cross-couplings to build C-C/Si bonds have been developed, but the reductive cross-coupling to create the C(sp2)-B bond has not been explored. Herein, we describe a nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between aryl halides and bromoboranes to construct a C(sp2)-B bond. This protocol offers a convenient approach for the synthesis of a wide range of aryl boronate esters, using readily available starting materials. Mechanistic studies indicate that the key to the success of the reaction is the activation of the B-Br bond of bromoboranes with a Lewis base such as 2-MeO-py. The activation ensures that bromoboranes will react with the active nickel(I) catalyst prior to aryl halides, which is different from the sequence of the general nickel-catalyzed reductive C(sp2)-C/Si cross-coupling, where the oxidative addition of an aryl halide proceeds first. Notably, this approach minimizes the production of undesired homocoupling byproduct without the requirement of excessive quantities of either substrate.

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.

We report a carbene-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of activated esters and β-borate enones, providing an efficient method to build enantioenriched organoborones with two consecutive stereogenic centers. It is worth noting that this protocol represents a new organocatalytic manner to generate chiral β-C-B bonds. Moreover, it also greatly enriches the structural diversity of the chiral organoboron compounds.

Abstract
We herein describe a protocol to synthesize trifluoromethylated alkyl boronates from alkenes by the mutual activation of the Togni II and the bis(catecholato)diboron reagents in the absence of any catalyst and additives. This reaction enables synthesizing a series of trifluoromethylated alkyl boronates using unactivated alkenes, including natural products and drug derivatives, in a regioselective manner. Moreover, the synthetic utility of the boronic ester present in the product allows access to a range of trifluoromethyl containing compounds. The radical trapping and gas detection experiments reveal that the more Lewis acidic diboron reagent determines the rapid formation of trifluoromethyl and boron centered radicals.

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
A method has been described for accessing α-seleno alkyl boronates. The selenoboration was achieved via the diboration of carbonyl compounds to give α-oxyl boronates, which then undergo 1,2-metalate rearrangement in the presence of lithium selenolates and trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA). A variety of structurally diverse substrates were compatible with this protocol and efficiently provides difunctionalized products from simple starting materials. The presence of the boronic ester in the resulting organoselenium compounds serves as a versatile synthetic handle for various functionalizations. Mechanistic studies revealed that the binding of selenium nucleophile to both the boron centers in α-oxyl boronate esters.

[PMID: 37651875 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Continuous efforts are being directed toward the employment of boron in drug design due to its advantages and unique characteristics including a plethora of target engagement modes, lower metabolism, and synthetic accessibility, among others. Phosphates are components of multiple drug molecules as well as clinical candidates, since they play a vital role in various biochemical functions, being components of nucleotides, energy currency- ATP as well as several enzyme cofactors. This review discusses the unique chemistry of boron functionalities as phosphate bioisosteres - "the boron-phosphorus elemental exchange strategy" as well as the superiority of boron groups over other commonly employed phosphate bioisosteres. Boron phosphate-mimetics have been utilized for the development of enzyme inhibitors as well as novel borononucleotides. Both the boron functionalities described in this review-boronic acids and benzoxaboroles-contain a boron connected to two oxygens and one carbon atom. The boron atom of these functional groups coordinates with a water molecule in the enzyme site forming a tetrahedral molecule which mimics the phosphate structure. Although boron phosphate-mimetic molecules - FDA-approved Crisaborole and phase II/III clinical candidate Acoziborole are products of the boron-phosphorus bioisosteric elemental exchange strategy, this technique is still in its infancy. The review aims to promote the use of this strategy in future medicinal chemistry projects.

Abstract
Organoboron compounds are of high significance in organic synthesis due to the unique versatility of boryl substituents to access further modifications. The high demand for the incorporation of boryl moieties into molecular structures has witnessed significant progress, particularly in the C(sp3)-H borylation of hydrocarbons. Taking advantage of special characteristics of photo/electrochemistry, we herein describe the development of an oxidative C(sp3)-H borylation reaction under metal- and oxidant-free conditions, enabled by photoelectrochemical strategy. The reaction exhibits broad substrate scope (>57 examples), and includes the use of simple alkanes, halides, silanes, ketones, esters and nitriles as viable substrates. Notably, unconventional regioselectivity of C(sp3)-H borylation is achieved, with the coupling site of C(sp3)-H borylation selectively located in the distal methyl group. Our method is operationally simple and easily scalable, and offers a feasible approach for the one-step synthesis of high-value organoboron building blocks from simple hydrocarbons, which would provide ample opportunities for drug discovery.

Abstract
New chemotypes and bioisosteres can open a new chemical space in drug discovery and help meet an urgent demand for novel agents to fight infections and other diseases. With the aim of identifying new boron-containing drug chemotypes, this article details a comprehensive evaluation of the pseudoaromatic hemiboronic naphthoids, benzoxaza- and benzodiazaborines. Relevant physical properties in aqueous media (acidity, solubility, log P, and stability) of prototypic members of four subclasses were determined. Both scaffolds are amenable to common reactions used in drug discovery, such as chemoselective Suzuki-Miyaura, Chan-Lam, and amidation reactions. Small model libraries were prepared to assess the scope of these transformations, and the entire collection was screened for antifungal (Candida albicans) and antibacterial activity (MRSA, Escherichia coli), unveiling promising benzoxazaborines with low micromolar minimum inhibitory concentration values. Select DMPK assays of representative compounds suggest promising drug-like behavior for all four subclasses. Moreover, several drug isosteres were evaluated for anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity as appropriate.

Abstract
α-Halogenated boronic esters are versatile building blocks that can be diversified into a wide variety of polyfunctionalized molecules. However, their synthetic potential has been hampered by limited preparation methods. Herein, we report a visible light-induced C-H bromination reaction of readily available benzyl boronic esters. This method features high yields, mild conditions, simple operation, and good functional group tolerance. The analogous chlorides and iodides can be accessed via Finkelstein reaction. Synthesis of halogenated geminal diborons has also been demonstrated.

Abstract
This comprehensive review article discussed the reactivity of carbenes with boronic acid derivatives for the one-pot synthesis of diarylmethanes, difluoromethylated arenes, aryl and alkyl boron compounds, arylacetic acid derivatives, furan derivatives, and many other compounds. We have summarized the arylation, vinylation, and alkylation of carbenes utilizing various transition metals, viz. palladium, rhodium, copper, and platinum, for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds, carbon-boron bonds, and beyond through the cross-coupling strategy. The reason for the increasing popularity of these novel methodologies is their application in the synthesis and late-stage functionalization of biologically active compounds and natural products. Notably, organoboron compounds are exemplified as versatile synthetic intermediates for constructing various bonds.

Abstract
Aminoboration of simple alkenes with nitrogen nucleophiles remains an unsolved problem in synthetic chemistry; this transformation can be catalyzed by palladium via aminopalladation followed by transmetalation with a diboron reagent. However, this catalytic process faces inherent challenges with instability of the alkylpalladium(II) intermediate toward β-hydride elimination. Herein, we report a palladium/iron cocatalyzed aminoboration, which enables this transformation. We demonstrate these conditions on a variety of alkenes and norbornenes with an array of common nitrogen nucleophiles. In the developed strategy, the iron cocatalyst is crucial to achieving the desired reactivity by serving as a halophilic Lewis acid to release the transmetalation-active cationic alkylpalladium intermediate. Furthermore, it serves as a redox shuttle in the regeneration of the Pd(II) catalyst by reactivation of nanoparticulate palladium.

Abstract
Benzodiazaborines (BDABs) have emerged as a valuable tool to produce stable and functional bioconjugates via a click-type transformation. However, the current available methods to install them on peptides lack bioorthogonality, limiting their applications. Here, we report a strategy to install BDABs directly on peptide chains using (2-cyanamidophenyl)boronic acids (2CyPBAs). The resulting BDAB is stabilized through the formation of a key intramolecular B-N bond. This technology was applied in the selective modification of N-terminal cysteine-containing functional peptides.

Abstract
Catalytic C(sp3)-H functionalization has provided enormous opportunities to construct organic molecules, facilitating the derivatization of complex pharmaceutical compounds. Within this framework, direct hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalysis becomes an appealing approach to this goal. However, the viable substrates utilized in these protocols are limited, and the site selectivity shows preference to activated and thermodynamically favored C(sp3)-H bonds. Herein, we describe the development of undirected iron-catalyzed C(sp3)-H borylation, thiolation, and sulfinylation reactions enabled by the photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) process. These reactions exhibit remarkably broad substrate scope (>150 examples in total), and most importantly, all of these three reactions show unconventional regioselectivity, with the occurrence of C(sp3)-H borylation, thiolation, and sulfinylation preferentially at the distal methyl position. The procedures are operationally simple and readily scalable and provide access to high-value products from simple hydrocarbons in one step. Mechanistic studies and control experiments indicate that the afforded site selectivity is not only relevant to the HAT species but also largely affected by the use of boron- and sulfone-based radical acceptors.

Abstract
The mechanisms of direct deoxygenative borylation of acetone and benzaldehyde with bis(catecholato)diborane (B2 cat2 ) in the solvent N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) are investigated through detailed density functional theory calculations. These calculations show that the isomer 1,2-B2 cat2 in situ generated from 1,1-B2 cat2 induced by DMA is the reactive boron intermediate for the reactions. The addition of the B-B bond of 1,2-B2 cat2 to the C=O bond of acetone or benzaldehyde via a concerted [2σ+2π]-cycloaddition-like transition state is the rate-limiting step for both the triboration reaction of acetone and the monoboration reaction of benzaldehyde. DMA not only acts as the solvent but also promotes the structural isomerization of B2 cat2 , the deoxygenation of acetone to form the vinyl boronate intermediate and subsequent diboration of vinyl boronate with 1,2-B2 cat2 , as well as the protodeboronation of the gem-diboronate intermediate in the deoxygenative borylation of benzaldehyde. The presented computational results can explain the observed experimental facts and provide insight into the roles of the isomeric 1,2-B2 cat2 and the solvent DMA in related reactions.

Abstract
Mandelate racemase (MR) catalyses the Mg2+-dependent interconversion of (R)- and (S)-mandelate. To effect catalysis, MR stabilizes the altered substrate in the transition state (TS) by approximately 26 kcal mol-1 (-ΔGtx), such that the upper limit of the virtual dissociation constant of the enzyme-TS complex is 2 × 10-19 M. Designing TS analogue inhibitors that capture a significant amount of ΔGtx for binding presents a challenge since there are a limited number of protein binding determinants that interact with the substrate and the structural simplicity of mandelate constrains the number of possible isostructural variations. Indeed, current intermediate/TS analogue inhibitors of MR capture less than or equal to 30% of ΔGtx because they fail to fully capitalize on electrostatic interactions with the metal ion, and the strength and number of all available electrostatic and H-bond interactions with binding determinants present at the TS. Surprisingly, phenylboronic acid (PBA), 2-formyl-PBA, and para-chloro-PBA capture 31-38% of ΔGtx. The boronic acid group interacts with the Mg2+ ion and multiple binding determinants that effect TS stabilization. Inhibitors capable of forming multiple interactions can exploit the cooperative interactions that contribute to optimum binding of the TS. Hence, maximizing interactions with multiple binding determinants is integral to effective TS analogue inhibitor design. This article is part of the theme issue 'Reactivity and mechanism in chemical and synthetic biology'.

Abstract
The borosilylcyclopropanation of styrene derivatives using a (diiodo(trimethylsilyl)methyl)boronic ester carbene precursor is reported herein. The key reagent was synthesized in a 4-step sequence using inexpensive and commercially available starting materials. This method enabled the preparation of novel 1,1,2-tri- and 1,1,2,2-tetrasubstituted borosilylcyclopropanes up to excellent yields and diastereoselectivity. The reaction is organocatalyzed by eosin Y in the presence of visible light. A mechanism consistent with the experimental observations was postulated based on density functional theory calculations. The versatility of these entities was highlighted through post-functionalization reactions.

Stimuli-Responsive Boron-Based Materials in Drug Delivery. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032757. [PMID: 36769081 PMCID: PMC9917063 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Drug delivery systems, which use components at the nanoscale level as diagnostic tools or to release therapeutic drugs to particular target areas in a regulated manner, are a fast-evolving field of science. The active pharmaceutical substance can be released via the drug delivery system to produce the desired therapeutic effect. The poor bioavailability and irregular plasma drug levels of conventional drug delivery systems (tablets, capsules, syrups, etc.) prevent them from achieving sustained delivery. The entire therapy process may be ineffective without a reliable delivery system. To achieve optimal safety and effectiveness, the drug must also be administered at a precision-controlled rate and the targeted spot. The issues with traditional drug delivery are overcome by the development of stimuli-responsive controlled drug release. Over the past decades, regulated drug delivery has evolved considerably, progressing from large- and nanoscale to smart-controlled drug delivery for several diseases. The current review provides an updated overview of recent developments in the field of stimuli-responsive boron-based materials in drug delivery for various diseases. Boron-containing compounds such as boron nitride, boronic acid, and boron dipyrromethene have been developed as a moving field of research in drug delivery. Due to their ability to achieve precise control over drug release through the response to particular stimuli (pH, light, glutathione, glucose or temperature), stimuli-responsive nanoscale drug delivery systems are attracting a lot of attention. The potential of developing their capabilities to a wide range of nanoscale systems, such as nanoparticles, nanosheets/nanospheres, nanotubes, nanocarriers, microneedles, nanocapsules, hydrogel, nanoassembly, etc., is also addressed and examined. This review also provides overall design principles to include stimuli-responsive boron nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems, which might inspire new concepts and applications.

Abstract
This study aims to characterize the rheological behavior of a novel phenylboronic acid (PBA)-based closomer nanoconjugate (Closogel) with potential application in pharmaceutical formulation. PBA was used as a cross-linking agent and model (antiviral) drug. The PBA loaded Closogel chemical structure was analyzed by boron (11B) NMR and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The Closogel and control hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) gel were analyzed under oscillatory and continuous shear rheometry followed by mathematical modeling to characterize the gel flow behavior. The chemical analysis confirmed the existence of characteristic borate esters peaks and Boron chemical shifts within Closogel spectra. Due to its more flexible molecular structure, undiluted Closogel exhibited lower, yield stress, viscosity and relaxation time (30 Pa &163 Pa.s & 0.21 s vs 45 Pa &301 Pa.s & 0.39 s for HEC). Both Closogel and HEC gels exhibited a thixotropic behavior. The plastic undiluted and pseudoplastic 2.5 % w/v aqueous Closogels were more viscous than elastic (tan (δ) > 1) in the linear viscoelastic range. The Herschel-Bulkley model showed a significant fitting to all experimental data (R2 > 0.95). The 0.25 % w/v aqueous Closogel nearly exhibited a Newtonian behavior with a flow index of 0.93. These data suggest that PBA loaded Closomer-based gels have similar rheological behavior, with lower complex modulus than that of HEC gels, and they can be a promising platform used for delivery of topical antiviral or other bioactive agents.

Abstract
A copper catalyzed borocarbonylation of BCPs via proximal C-C bond cleavage for the synthesis of γ-boryl-γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds has been developed. Using substituted benzylidenecyclopropanes (BCPs) and chloroformates as starting material, a broad range of γ-boryl-γ,δ-unsaturated esters were prepared in moderate to excellent yields with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. Besides, when aliphatic acid chlorides were used in this reaction, γ-boryl-γ,δ-unsaturated ketones could be produced in excellent yields. When substituted BCPs were used as substrates, the borocarbonylation occurred predominantly at the proximal C-C bond trans to the phenyl group in a regio- and stereoselective manner, which leads to the Z-isomers as the products. This efficient methodology involves the cleavage of a C-C bond and the formation of a C-C bond as well as a C-B bond, and provides a new method for the proximal C-C bond difunctionalization of BCPs.

Abstract
The nitrile or cyano (-CN) group is one of the most appreciated and effective functional groups in organic synthesis, having a polar unsaturated C-N triple bond. Despite sufficient stability and being intrinsically inert, the nitrile group can be easily transformed into many other functional groups, such as amines, carboxylic acids, ketones, etc. which makes it a vital group in organic synthesis. On the other hand, despite several boronic acids having a low level of genotoxicity, they have found wide applicability in the field of organic synthesis, especially in transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Recently, transition-metal-catalyzed cascade additions or addition/cyclization processes of boronic acids to the nitrile group open up exciting and useful strategies to prepare a variety of functional molecules through the formation of C-C, C-N and CO bonds. Boronic acids can be added to the cyano functionality through catalytic carbometallation or through a radical cascade process to provide newer pathways for the rapid construction of various important acyclic ketones or amides, carbamidines, carbocycles and N,O-heterocycles. The present review focuses on various transition-metal-catalyzed additions of boronic acids via carbometallation or radical cascade processes using the cyano group as an acceptor.

Abstract
Approval of the first boronic acid group-containing drug, bortezomib, in 2003 for the treatment of multiple myeloma sparked an increased interest of medicinal chemists in boronic acid-based therapeutics. As a result, another boronic acid moiety-harboring medication, ixazomib, was approved in 2015 as a second-generation proteasome inhibitor for multiple myeloma; and dutogliptin is under clinical investigation in combination therapy against myocardial infarction. Moreover, a large number of novel agents with boronic acid element in their structure are currently in intensive preclinical studies, allowing to suppose that at least some of them enter clinical trials in the near future. On the other hand, only some years after bortezomib approval, direct interactions between its boronic acid group and catechol moiety of green tea catechins as well as some other common dietary flavonoids like quercetin and myricetin were discovered, leading to the formation of stable cyclic boronate esters and abolishing the anticancer activities. Although highly relevant, to date, no reports on possible co-effects of catechol group-containing flavonoids with new-generation boronic acid-based drugs can be found. However, this issue cannot be ignored, especially considering the abundance of catechol moiety-harboring flavonoids in both plant-derived food items as well as over-the-counter dietary supplements and herbal products. Therefore, in parallel with the intensified development of boronic acid-based drugs, their possible interactions with catechol groups of plant-derived flavonoids must also be clarified to provide dietary recommendations to patients for maximizing therapeutic benefits. If concurrently consumed flavonoids can indeed antagonize drug efficacy, it may pose a real risk to clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Non-selective inhibition of different histone deacetylase enzymes by hydroxamic acid-based drugs causes severe side effects when used as a (long-term) cancer treatment. In this work, we searched for a potent zinc-binding group able to replace the contested hydroxamic acid by employing a lean inhibitor strategy. This instructed the synthesis of a set of HDAC6-selective inhibitors containing the more desirable mercaptoacetamide moiety. Biological evaluation of these new compounds showed an IC50 in the nanomolar range, dose-dependent HDAC6 inhibition in MM1.S cells and improved genotoxicity results, rendering these new inhibitors valuable hits for applications even beyond oncology.

Abstract
Asymmetric palladium-catalyzed arylboration/cyclization of both nonactivated and activated alkenes with B2pin2 was developed. A wide range of N-allyl-o-iodobenzamides and o-iodoacryanilides reacted with B2pin2 to afford borylated 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinones and oxindoles, respectively, in high yields with high enantioselectivities. The synthetic utility of this enantioselective protocol was highlighted by synthesizing various chiral 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinone and oxindole derivatives containing quaternary stereogenic carbon centers, including enantioenriched Roche anticancer agent (S)-RO4999200.

Abstract
The identification of an alternative chemical space in order to address the global challenge posed by emerging antimicrobial resistance is very much needed for the discovery of novel antimicrobial lead compounds. Boron clusters are currently being explored in drug discovery due to their unique steric and electronic properties. However, the challenges associated with the synthesis and derivatization techniques of these compounds have limited their utility in the rapid construction of a library of molecules for screening against various biological targets as an alternative molecular platform. Herein, we report a transition-metal-catalyzed regioselective direct B-H alkylation-annulation of the closo-dodecaborate anion with natural products such as menthol and camphor as the directing groups. This method allowed the rapid construction of a library of 1,2,3-trisubstituted clusters, which were evaluated in terms of their antibacterial activity against WHO priority pathogens. Several of the synthesized dodecaborate derivatives displayed medium- to high-level bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
A bidentate monoanionic ligand system was developed to enable iridium catalyzed C(sp3)-H activation borylation of N-methyl amides. Borylated amides were obtained in moderate to good isolated yields, and exclusive mono-borylation allowed the amide to be the limiting reagent. Selectivity for C(sp3)-H activation was demonstrated in the presence of sterically available C(sp3)-H bonds. Competitive kinetic isotope studies revealed a large primary isotope effect, implicating C-H activation as the rate limiting step.

Abstract
![]()
Radical 1,3-carboheteroarylation
and 1,3-hydroalkylation of allylboronic
esters comprising a 1,2-boron shift is reported. Allylboronic esters
are generally used in synthesis as allylation reagents, where the
boronic ester moiety gets lost. In the introduced cascades, alkylboronic
esters are obtained with the boron entity remaining in the product.
The carboheteroarylation of the allylboronic esters are conducted
without a metal catalyst, and the 1,3-hydroalkylation is achieved
using iron catalysis. Both reactions work efficiently under mild conditions.

Abstract
Organoboron and organosilane compounds are widely used in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the C-F bond functionalization is a useful tool for the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. In particular, the late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules through defluoroborylation and defluorosilylation reactions will provide good opportunities for the development and diversification of new medicinal compounds. Thus, this feature article summarized the methods for the defluorosilylation and defluoroborylation of unreactive monofluoroarenes and gem-difluoroalkenes from 2000 to 2021, which might create some new ideas and will be helpful for further research in this field. These defluoroborylation and defluorosilylation strategies can be applied to synthesize silylated arenes, borylated arenes, silylated fluoroalkenes, and borylated fluoroalkenes, thus providing impressive advantages over traditional methods for the synthesis of organoboron and organosilane compounds in terms of divergent structures.

Abstract
Novel functional AIEgen based on three compact bound aryl skeletons is designed and synthesized. This tri-aryl type luminogen (TA-Catechol) embedded with catechol moiety responds rapidly to series of boronic acids. Real-time visual and quantitative dual-mode detection method is established for the first time with modest precision and low detection limit (8.0 μM). Detailed mechanistic discussion identifies tetra-coordinated boronic species as the key intermediate within sensing procedure. Wide range of organic boronic acids compatible with this strategy is displayed which is promising in high throughput screening technology. Furthermore, solid-state sensing capability of TA-Catechol is also demonstrated.

Abstract
α-Aminoboronic acids and their derivatives are useful as bioactive agents. Thus far, three compounds containing an α-aminoboronate motif have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as protease inhibitors, and more are currently undergoing clinical trials. In addition, α-aminoboronic acids and their derivatives have found applications in organic synthesis, e.g. as α-aminomethylation reagents for the synthesis of chiral nitrogen-containing molecules, as nucleophiles for preparing valuable vicinal amino alcohols, and as bis-nucleophiles in the construction of valuable small molecule scaffolds. This review summarizes new methodology for the preparation of α-aminoboronates, including highlights of asymmetric synthetic methods and mechanistic explanations of reactivity. Applications of α-aminoboronates as versatile synthetic building blocks are also discussed.
