Excellent tolerance: Stable acylboronates equipped with N-methyliminodiacetyl (MIDA) boryl groups ([B]) were prepared by using a sequence of oxidative manipulations at the boron-bound carbon center (green in scheme). Chemoselective transformations of these acylated organoboron building blocks yielded a range of multifunctionalized boron derivatives and supplied access to valuable borylated heterocycles (see scheme).
