Abstract:

In the past four decades, the chemistry of 1,1- and 1,2-bisboronate compounds has been extensively explored. Many interesting structural features and reaction patterns have emerged, and more importantly, these compounds now feature prominently in both metal-catalyzed and metal-free transformations for the formation of CC bonds and C–heteroatom and other processes. This chapter aims to highlight the recent development in this rising research field, focusing on the synthesis of 1,1- and 1,2-bisboronate compounds and their reactivity and selectivity that originate from the use of these bisboronates.
