A [2 + 2 + 1] annulation protocol has been established for the modular synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted thiophenes/selenophenes, with excellent regioselectivity. The reactions have been catalyzed by copper salt with elemental sulfur and selenium serving as

A transition-metal-free C(sp2)?C(sp2) bond formation reaction by the cross-coupling of diazo quinones with catechol boronic esters was developed. With this protocol, a variety of biaryls and alkenyl phenols were obtained in good to high yields under mild conditions. The reaction tolerates various functionalities and is applicable to the derivatization of pharmaceuticals and natural products. The synthetic utility of the method was demonstrated by the short synthesis of multi-substituted triphenylenes and three bioactive natural products, honokiol, moracin M, and stemofuran A. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the reaction involves attack of the boronic ester by a singlet quinone carbene followed by a 1,2-rearrangement through a stepwise mechanism.

As part of a program aimed at metal-catalyzed oxidative transformations of molecules with carbon-metalloid bonds, the synthesis of α-borylated ketones is reported via regioselective TBHP-mediated Wacker-type oxidation of N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA)-protected alkenylboronates. The observed regioselectivity correlates with the hemilabile nature of the B-N dative bond in the MIDA boronate functional group, which allows boron to guide selectivity through a neighboring group effect.
