Over the past decade, transition metal complexes of boron have become established as the fourth class of compounds involving direct metal–boron interactions. In contrast to the other three major groups in this field, i.e. borides, metal...
Hydroboration–oxidation of vinylarenes with the title catalyst gives the corresponding 1-arylethanols in up to 99% chemoselectivity and 94% enantiomeric e...
The catalytic hydroboration oftert-butylethene using H3B·NMe3gives RH2B·NMe3. With H3B·NMe2H tandem hydroboration under mild conditions/dehydrocoupling ...
The use of transition metals to catalyse the addition of hydridoboranes to unsaturated organic molecules was initially realised several decades ago. Although this area of chemistry received considerable attention at the time, interest in...
Participation of several 14-electron complexes as intermediates in the [Rh(PH3)3Cl]-catalyzed addition of BH3 to alkenes is suggested by results of ab init...
Dicarbonyltitanocene is an efficient and highly selective catalyst for alkyne hydroborations by catecholborane and dimethyltitanocene is an efficient and h...
The hydroboration of 1-halo-1-alkenes by catecholborane is accelerated by a catalytic amount of Wilkinson's catalyst {RhCl(PPh 3 ) 3 } to give α-halo boronic esters in good yields.
Over the past two decades, the transition metal catalysed addition of boron-element (B-E, where E = H, B, Sn, Si, etc) bonds to unsaturated compounds has r...
The mechanism of hydrogen transfer from indoline to cycloheptene in toluene catalyzed by RhCl(PPh 3) 3 has been studied. The rate data of the reaction can be accommodated by the rate expression of the form, rate = a[D][C] 0/(b + [L]) whe...
Participation of several 14-electron complexes as intermediates in the [Rh(PH3)3Cl]-catalyzed addition of BH3 to alkenes is suggested by results of ab init...
Transition metal complex-catalyzed organosulfur chemistry leading to selective formation of carbon-sulfur bonds is reviewed with an emphasis on recent prog...
ChemInform is a weekly Abstracting Service, delivering concise information at a glance that was extracted from about 100 leading journals. To access a Chem...
Metal-catalyzed borylation of alkenes, alkynes, arenes, and organic halides with B-B or H-B compounds has been developed for the synthesis of organoboron c...

Over the past decade, transition metal complexes of boron have become established as the fourth class of compounds involving direct metal–boron interactions. In contrast to the other three major groups in this field, i.e. borides, metal...
Homogeneous transition metal catalysed hydroboration reactions are discussed briefly, providing the background which led to the recent discovery of metal c...
Electroluminescence has been a subject of interest for several decades because of its many applications in areas such as telecommunications or information ...
Metal-free nucleophilic activation of a B-B bond has been exploited in the development of a highly efficient method for conjugate additions of commercially...
The Lewis acidity of [(eta5-C5R5)Fe(CO)2(BX2)] (1: R = H, X = Cl) and the robust nature of the constituent Fe--B bond have been demonstrated by reaction wi...
