Over the past decade, major advances in the preparation and utilization of organoboron reagents have been applied to virtually all areas of organic synthesis. The present review collates recent examples of the use of organoboron reagents in the synthesis of α-amino acids and their derivatives. Aryl- and alkenylboronic acids have been used in the asymmetric synthesis of α-amino acids through conjugate addition to unsaturated amino acids and the Petasis three-component coupling reaction. Additionally, α-amino acid derivatives with organoboron functionality on the side-chain have been prepared and used in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to prepare cross-linked amino acids and complex cyclic peptide natural products.

The Suzuki cross-coupling reaction is a very efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly method for the introduction of novel carbon–carbon bonds into molecules. This review summarizes recent advances in the use of the reaction in aqueous media with a focus on different types of ligands and the ligandless protocols currently in use. Several synthetic targets for the reaction have been mentioned. The work summarizes recent results from studies on asymmetric Suzuki reactions performed in organic – aqueous mixed solvents.Key words: Suzuki reaction, green chemistry, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, aqueous synthesis media.

Herein, a synthetic approach using selective transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to thermally crosslinkable OLED materials­ based on vinyl-functionalized arylamines is reported. In a modular approach, 9,9-dialkyl-2,7-diiodo-9H-fluorene underwent a selective Ullmann cross-coupling reaction with bromo-substituted-diphenylamines to give 9,9-dialkyl-2,7-bis(bromo-substituted-diphenylamino)-9H-fluorenes that underwent end-functionalization by the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction using potassium vinyltrifluoroborate to give the corresponding 9,9-dialkyl-2,7-bis(vinyl-substituted-diphenylamino)-9H-fluorenes. Novel meta-functionalized materials were synthesized, which are difficult to prepare by traditional synthetic pathways. The thermal behavior of the compounds was investigated by DSC measurements, indicating a lower thermal sensitivity of the meta-substituted materials than their para-functionalized analogues.

This short overview discusses the contribution that computational methods can make to the study of reaction mechanisms in non-noble-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The differences between such reactions and those catalyzed by more traditional noble metals are emphasized, together with the challenge this poses to computation.

Metallaphotoredox catalysis combines the well-established mechanisms of transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with one-electron redox manipulations enabled by light. In most cases, a transition metal or organic dye serves as the photoredox catalyst while a ground-state Pd or Ni catalyst performs the organometallic steps. Cross-coupling mechanisms that rely on direct photoexcitation of a light-absorbing substrate have the potential to access distinct mechanisms and deliver unique selectivity based on the substrate’s excited-state properties. In this report, we describe a photoinduced, Ni-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reaction that selectively functionalizes BODIPY chromophores, a versatile class of tunable, bright, photostable fluorophores. Using a bis-iodo BODIPY substrate, the selectivity for mono- vs. bis-arylation was found to be governed by a remote substituent that subtly alters the excited-state properties of the substrate. Consistent with a substrate photoexcitation mechanism, high chemoselectivity is also observed in mixtures of chromophores with distinct excited-state properties. This reaction is compatible with a variety of substituted BODIPY chromophores and boronic acids and esters, enabling the rapid synthesis of unsymmetrically-substituted chromophores.

By using an iron-based catalyst, access to enantioenriched 1,1-diarylakanes was enabled through an enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura crosscoupling reaction. The combination of a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene additive were essential to afford high yields and enantioselectivities in cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and a variety of benzylic chlorides, including challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chloride substrates. Mechanistic investigations implicate a stereoconvergent pathway involving carbon-centered radical intermediates.

Phosphines are widely used ligands in transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Arylphosphines, such as triphenylphosphine, were among the first phosphines to show broad utility in catalysis. Beginning in the late 1990s, sterically demanding and electronrich trialkylphosphines began to receive attention as supporting ligands. These ligands were found to be particularly effective at promoting oxidative addition in cross-coupling of aryl halides. With electron-rich, sterically demanding ligands, such as tri-tertbutylphosphine, coupling of aryl bromides could be achieved at room temperature. More importantly, the less reactive, but more broadly available, aryl chlorides became accessible substrates. Tri-tert-butylphosphine has become a privileged ligand that has found application in a wide range of late transition-metal catalyzed coupling reactions. This success has led to the use of numerous monodentate trialkylphosphines in cross-coupling reactions. This review will discuss the general properties and features of monodentate trialkylphosphines and their application in cross-coupling reactions of C–X and C–H bonds.

Orthogonal reactivity modes offer substantial opportunities for rapid construction of complex small molecules. However, most strategies for imparting orthogonality to cross-coupling reactions rely on differential protection of reactive sites, greatly reducing both atom and step economies. Reported here is a strategy for orthogonal cross-coupling wherein a mechanistically distinct activation mode for transmetalation of sp3-hybridized organoboron reagents enables C-C bond formation in the presence of various protected and unprotected sp2-hybridized organoborons. This manifold has the potential for broad application, because orthogonality is inherent to the activation mode itself. The diversification potential of this platform is shown in the rapid elaboration of a trifunctional lynchpin through various transition metal-catalyzed processes without nonproductive deprotection or functional group manipulation steps.
