Recent Advances in Methodologies for Radical-Mechanistic Borylation†

Abstract

We reviewed works on radical borylation reactions since 2020 from two aspects. 1. Borylation from alkyl or aryl radicals: This approach involves the generation of alkyl or aryl radicals from various precursors such as halides and carboxylic acids, followed by their reaction with diboron reagents to form boron esters. 2. Borylation from boron-centered radicals: This approach involves generating boron-centered radicals, which then react with substrates to achieve borylation.
