- Magnesium promoted autocatalytic dehydrogenation of amine borane complexes: A reliable, non-cryogenic, scalable access to boronic acids
-
Owing to the unusual reactivity of dialkylamine-borane complexes, a methodology was developed to simply access boronic acids. The intrinsic instability of magnesium aminoborohydride was tweaked into a tandem dehydrogenation borylation sequence. Proceeding via an autocatalytic cycle, amineborane dehydrogenation was induced by a variety of Grignard reagents. Overall, addition of the organomagnesium species onto specially designed dialkylamine-borane complexes led to a variety of boronic acids in high yields. In addition, the reaction can be performed under Barbier conditions, on a large scale.

- Copper-Catalyzed Monoorganylation of Trialkyl Borates with Functionalized Organozinc Pivalates
-
Organozinc pivalates, a recently developed air- and moisture-stable organozinc species, were found for the first time as excellent organometallic species in the monoorganylation of trialkyl borates whereby boronic acids were prepared in high yields. The significant advantage of organozinc pivalates over another previously employed organometallic reagents, e. g., organolithium reagents, Grignard reagents and organozinc halides, is that the generation of multiorganylation byproducts such as borinic acids and trialkylboranes were completely suppressed. Additionally, the in situ generated boronates could be directly arranged into Suzuki-Miyaura type cross-coupling reactions to produce biaryls in high yields.
