Abstract
Recently, electrochemical methods have been harnessed as a transition metal-free strategy for borylation reactions in the synthesis of organoboron compounds. This article reviews the electrochemical borylation of C−C and C−Het bonds, offering a systematic discussion of C−C, C−N, C−O, and C−S bond borylation reactions. These transformations are applied to substrates including ammonium salts, aryl azo sulfones, carboxylic acids, arylhydrazines, nitroarenes, alcohols, and thioethers, showcasing broad compatibility. Additionally, the review discusses reaction mechanisms, scalability, and practical applications of these electrochemical strategies. The article concludes by outlining future research directions for electrochemical borylation reactions, aiming at expending their applications in incorporating boron into a wider array of organic compounds, including the challenging unactivated C−Het and C−F bond borylations.
期刊介绍:
ChemElectroChem is aimed to become a top-ranking electrochemistry journal for primary research papers and critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers the entire scope of pure and applied electrochemistry, the latter encompassing (among others) energy applications, electrochemistry at interfaces (including surfaces), photoelectrochemistry and bioelectrochemistry.
