Magnesium-Catalyzed Hydroboration of C−C σ-Bonds of Benzylidene Cyclobutanes

Selective synthetic routes to prepare boronic esters are highly desirable as they are valuable intermediates in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. In this paper, we report an approach to generate boronic esters through the ring-opening hydroboration of benzylidene cyclobutane...
