A variety of arylboronic esters were efficiently carboxylated with CO(2) using a simple AgOAc/PPh(3) catalyst, affording the corresponding carboxylic acids in good yield. This simple and efficient silver(i) catalytic system showed wide functional group compatibility.

A novel methodology for the direct nitration of arylboronic acids has been developed. By using inexpensive tert-butyl nitrite various aromatic nitro compounds are produced in moderate to good yields (45-87%) without the need of any catalyst.

A silver-mediated cross-coupling of trifluoromethoxide with aryl stannanes and arylboronic acids to give aryl trifluoromethyl ethers is reported. This is the first report of a transition-metal-mediated C(aryl)-OCF(3) bond formation.

The catalytic asymmetric 1,2-addition of a series of arylboronic acids to 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenones is described with high isolated yields (up to 96%) and good enantioselectivities (up to 83% ee) using a rhodium(I)/phosphoramidite catalyst.

Commercially available arylboronic acids can easily be converted into chiral boronic esters which subjected to Matteson homologations using Grignard reagents. The best results are obtained in one pot protocols without isolation of the ?-chloroboronic ester intermediates. Alkoxides also used as nucleophiles, but corresponding homologated found not stable.

A green and efficient protocol for ipso-hydroxylation of arylboronic acids has been developed using WEPBA (water extract papaya bark ash) as neat reaction media. The present media provides a clean strategy to get phenols in excellent yields.

Boron-moiety-containing aluminoxanes (BMAOs) were prepared from the partial protonolysis of Me3Al using various arylboronic acids. Compared with methylaluminoxane (MAO) generated from the hydrolysis of Me3Al, BMAO prepared from C6F5B(OH)2 and Me3Al induced a higher activity at the same Al/Ti ratio in the Ti-based olefin polymerization catalyst (ansa-Me2Si(Flu)(NBu) TiMe2; 5). The time course of...

The development and optimization of a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to cyclic enone conjugate acceptors is described. These reactions employ air-stable and readily-available reagents in an operationally simple and robust transformation that yields β-quaternary ketones in high yields and enantioselectivities. Notably, the reaction itself is highly toleran...
