Rhodium-catalysed asymmetric allylic arylation of racemic halides with arylboronic acids

by Mireia Sidera

Nature Chemistry. doi:10.1038/nchem.2360

Authors: Mireia Sidera & Stephen P. Fletcher

Cross-couplings between boronic acids and halides are a mainstay of synthetic organic chemistry but enantioselective Csp2–Csp3 couplings are rare, and simply retaining the stereochemistry of the starting material is problematic. Now, it is shown that racemic allylic halides can converted to single enantiomer products by a rhodium(I)-catalysed asymmetric allylic arylation using arylboronic acids

Zinc-Catalyzed Dual C–X and C–H Borylation of Aryl Halides

Two B or not two B: A novel catalytic system based on a ZnII-dtbpy precursor was developed for the preparation of 1,2-diborylarenes. This method represents a new type of catalytic process for diborylation of aryl halides via both C-X and C-H activation.
