Borylative Difunctionalization of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Using Borylcopper Species.

This article explores the borylative difunctionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons using borylcopper species. It discusses the importance of developing simple and effective methods for preparing organoboron compounds. The article focuses on Cu-catalyzed reactions, including regioselective hydroborations, boroallylation, boroacylation, and boroformylation of 1,2-dienes. The authors describe the development of catalyst systems and ligands that have shown high yields and selectivities in these reactions. The research aims to contribute to the field of organic synthesis by developing efficient and selective catalytic reactions for the functionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
