Recent advances in the borylative transformation of carbonyl and carboxyl compounds

Organoboron compounds are powerful reagents in synthetic chemistry. Carbonyl and carboxyl compounds are widely accessible chemical feedstocks. The synthesis of organoboron compounds from these basic chemicals is important for chemical synthesis nowadays. Many efforts have been made to access organoboron compounds from carbonyl and carboxyl compounds, including aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acid derivatives, etc. Herein, we summarize the recent advances of these borylative transformations in this field.
