Abstract

Organoboron compounds play prominent roles in structural, synthetic, and materials chemistry because boron atoms can feature electrophilic, ambiphilic, or nucleophilic character. This perspective briefly describes the most recent progress in organoboron chemistry, focusing on new boron molecules and their applications that have attracted great interest from main-group chemists. The research hotspots arising from these pioneering results are also discussed.

1 Introduction

2 Diboron Reagents

3 Boryl Anions

4 Borylenes

5 Nucleophilic or Ambiphilic Boron-Containing N-Heterocycles

6 Conclusions and Outlook

Key words

boron - diboron compounds - boryl anions - BN-heterocycles
