One-step selective synthesis of doubly and triply fused chiral boroloborole derivatives

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Dec 10;60(99):14782-14785. doi: 10.1039/d4cc04433a.

Abstract

Chiral 3a,6a-dihydroborolo[3,2-b]boroles are obtained in one diastereoselective step from the reactions of ortho-(dihaloboryl)arenes with stannole derivatives via a complex rearrangement of 1-borolyl-2-(dihaloboryl)arene intermediates.
