Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization of organoboron derivatives has emerged as a powerful tool for the selective formation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds in modern organic synthesis.[1] In addition to palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, such as the famous Suzuki–Miyaura reaction, rhodium-catalyzed additions of aryl or alkenyl boronic acids to alkynes,[2] alkenes,[3] carbonyl compounds,[4] imines,[5] and nitriles [6, 7] are in ...
