Reactivity Trends with Borylalkyl Copper(I) Species

The renaissance on the application of gem-diborylalkanes from 2010, has allowed the conquest of new synthetic application towards C-C and C-N bond formation. The activation of gem-diborylalkanes by Cu(I) catalysts, generates active borylalky copper(I) species that are able to trap several electrophilic reagents, in an efficient way. In addition, the modification of Cu(I) complexes with chiral ligands, induces asymmetric platforms towards the synthesis of enantioenriched organoboron compounds.
