Abstract
Even though metal-catalyzed enantioselective hydroborations of alkenes have attracted enormous attention, few preparatively useful reactions of α-alkyl acrylic acid derivatives are known, and most use rhodium catalysts. No examples of asymmetric hydroboration of the corresponding α-arylacrylic acid esters are known. In our continuing efforts to search for new applications of earth-abundant cobalt catalysts for broadly applicable organic transformations, we have identified 2-(2-diarylphosphinophenyl)oxazoline ligands and mild reaction conditions for efficient and highly regio- and enantioselective hydroboration of α-alkyl- and α-aryl- acrylates, giving β-borylated propionates. Since the C-B bonds in these compounds can be readily replaced by C-O, C-N, and C-C bonds, these intermediates could serve as valuable chiral synthons, some from feedstock carbon sources, for the synthesis of propionate-bearing motifs including polyketides and related molecules. Two-step syntheses of "Roche" ester from methyl methacrylate (79%; er 99:1), arguably the most widely used chiral fragment in polyketide synthesis, and tropic acid esters (∼80% yield; er ∼93:7), which are potential intermediates for several medicinally important classes of compounds, illustrate the power of the new methods. Mechanistic studies confirm the requirement of a cationic Co(I) species [(L)Co]+as the viable catalyst in these reactions and rule out the possibility of a [L]Co-H-initiated route, which has been well-established in related hydroborations of other classes of alkenes. A mechanism involving an oxidative migration of a boryl group to the β-carbon of an η4-coordinated acrylate-cobalt complex is proposed as a plausible route.

Abstract
Enantiopure homoallylic boronate esters are versatile intermediates because the C-B bond in these compounds can be stereospecifically transformed into C-C, C-O, and C-N bonds. Regio- and enantioselective synthesis of these precursors from 1,3-dienes has few precedents in the literature. We have identified reaction conditions and ligands for the synthesis of nearly enantiopure (er >97:3 to >99:1) homoallylic boronate esters via a rarely seen cobalt-catalyzed [4,3]-hydroboration of 1,3-dienes. Monosubstituted or 2,4-disubstituted linear dienes undergo highly efficient regio- and enantioselective hydroboration with HBPin catalyzed by [(L*)Co]+[BARF]-, where L* is typically a chiral bis-phosphine ligand with a narrow bite angle. Several such ligands (e.g., i-PrDuPhos, QuinoxP*, Duanphos, and BenzP*) that give high enantioselectivities for the [4,3]-hydroboration product have been identified. In addition, the equally challenging problem of regioselectivity is uniquely solved with a dibenzooxaphosphole ligand, (R,R)-MeO-BIBOP. A cationic cobalt(I) complex of this ligand is a very efficient (TON >960) catalyst while also providing excellent regioselectivities (rr >98:2) and enantioselectivities (er >98:2) for a broad range of substrates. A detailed computational investigation of the reactions using Co complexes from two widely different ligands (BenzP* and MeO-BIBOP) employing the B3LYP-D3 density functional theory provides key insights into the mechanism and the origins of selectivities. The computational results are in full agreement with the experiments. For the complexes we have examined thus far, the relative stabilities of the diastereomeric diene-bound complexes [(L*)Co(η4-diene)]+ lead to the initial diastereofacial selectivity, which in turn is retained in the subsequent steps, providing exceptional enantioselectivity for the reactions.

Abstract
A straightforward, efficient, and selective method for the preparation of novel boryl-functionalized enynes or dienes via [Pt(PPh3)4]-catalyzed diboration of a broad spectrum of symmetrical and unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes was developed. The catalytic cycle of diboration was proposed on the basis of low-temperature 31P NMR studies. An alternative isolation method via product condensation on a cold finger was developed, which, in contrast to previous literature reports, eliminates the need for the additional transformation of rapidly decomposing enynyl pinacol boronates to more stable silica-based column chromatography derivatives during the separation step. To prove the efficiency of this simple catalytic protocol, bisboryl-functionalized enynes were synthesized in a gram scale and tested as useful building blocks in advanced organic transformations, such as hydrosilylation and Suzuki and sila-Sonogashira couplings. The presence of silyl, boryl, as well as other functions like halogen or alkoxy in their structures builds a new class of multifunctionalized enynes that might be modified in various chemical reactions.

Abstract
Organoboron reagents represent a unique class of compounds because of their utility in modern synthetic organic chemistry, often affording unprecedented reactivity. The transformation of the carbon-boron bond into a carbon-X (X = C, N, and O) bond in a stereocontrolled fashion has become invaluable in medicinal chemistry, agrochemistry, and natural products chemistry as well as materials science. Over the past decade, first-row d-block transition metals have become increasingly widely used as catalysts for the formation of a carbon-boron bond, a transformation traditionally catalyzed by expensive precious metals. This recent focus on alternative transition metals has enabled growth in fundamental methods in organoboron chemistry. This review surveys the current state-of-the-art in the use of first-row d-block element-based catalysts for the formation of carbon-boron bonds.

Abstract
The mechanism of the Ru(II)-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov formal hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes and enynes by hydrazones has been elucidated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our results indicate that the C-C bond formation proceeds through a highly polar outer-sphere transition state (TS) stabilized by the THF solvent, not the ordered inner-sphere TS as originally proposed. The regioselectivity for 1,2-anti-Markovnikov addition is primarily due to the formation of an extensively π-conjugated intermediate after the nucleophilic attack on the 1-position of the diene. The stability of this intermediate means that nucleophilic attack at the 1-position is able to utilize the outer-sphere pathway, while attacks on all other positions of the diene must proceed through more crowded and less-favorable inner-sphere TSs. We show that the electronics of substituents on the hydrazone and the diene have a significant impact on the C-C formation barrier, which rationalizes the limitations on the substrate scope. The preferred coordination sphere around Ru(II) and the rigidity of the reacting substrates lead to a sterically demanding TS geometry, which explains the sensitivity of the reaction to the ligand size.
