Inter-Element Boration Reactions of Carbon-Carbon Multiple Bonds via Lewis-Basic Activation of Boron Reagents

Here, we review recent progress in transition-metal-free inter-element boration reactions via Lewis-basic activation of various boron reagents, focusing mainly on the boration reactions of carbon-carbon multiple bonds without an electron-withdrawing (activating) group and those with an electron-withdrawing group where the polarity of the addition reaction is inverse to the natural reactivity.
