Short description
For the first time, the whole field of organoboronic acids is presented in one comprehensive handbook, covering all aspects of this important substance class, including applications in chemistry, biology and medicine.

From the contents

Metal-catalyzed borylation of alkanes and arenas via C-H activation for synthesis of boronic esters.
Coupling reactions of areneboronic acids or esters with aromatic electrophiles.
Rhodium-catalyzed additions of boronic acids to alkenes and carbonyl compounds.
Copper-promoted C-O and C-N cross-coupling of boronic acids.
Preparation of allylboronates and recent applications in organic synthesis.
Nulceophilic addition reactions of aryl and akenylboronic acids and their derivatives to imines and iminium ions.
Alpha-haloalkylboronic esters in asymmetric synthesis.
Cycloadditions and other additions to alkenyl- alkynyl-, and dienylboronic esters.
Organoboronic acids and organoborinic acids as Bronsted-Lewis acid catalysts in organic synthesis.
Oxazaborolidines as asymmetric inducers for the reduction of ketones and ketimines.
