Boronic acids and their derivatives have found utility as synthetic building blocks,[1] chemosensors,[2] and as biologically active targets of synthesis.[3] Both the biological activity and chemical reactivity of boronic acids stem from boron s Lewis acidity. While useful in a broad range of applications, boron s propensity to undergo reactions with Lewis bases becomes problematic for functional-group compatibility during synthesis. Reagents that ...
