Polycyclic Scaffolds through the Intermediacy of Boron-Stabilized Nonclassical Carbocations
Boston CollegeProfessor James P. Morken’s team has demonstrated that in the presence of catalytic amounts of Brønsted acid, boron-containing norbornene derivatives undergo regioselective rearrangement to generate boron-containing nortricyclanes. The selective functionalization of boronic esters allows for the acquisition of various multisubstituted tricyclic structures, providing opportunities for broader applications. Abstract In the presence of catalytic amounts … Read more
