Organocatalytic Synthesis of Chiral Tetrasubstituted Allenes from Racemic Propargylic Alcohols
TL;DR: It is shown that a highly enantioselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted allenes from racemic propargylic alcohols has been realized by organocatalysis with good efficiency and the process employs quinone methides for axial chirality construction.
Synthesis, Structure and Reactivity of a Borylene Cation [(NHSi)2B(CO)]+ Stabilized by Three Neutral Ligands
TL;DR: This is the first example of a borylene cation coordinated by three neutral ligands, which can be viewed as a cationic form of a long-sought Lewis base-stabilized zerovalent boron compound.

Reaction of B 2 (o-tol) 4 with CO and Isocyanides: Cleavage of the C O Triple Bond and Direct C-H Borylations
TL;DR: The reaction of highly Lewis acidic tetra(o-tolyl)diborane(4) with CO afforded a mixture of boraindane and boroxine by the cleavage of the C≡O triple bond.

Reactivity of Highly Lewis-Acidic Diborane(4) toward C≡N and N=N Bonds: Uncatalyzed Addition and N=N Bond-Cleavage Reactions
TL;DR: In the reactions with nitriles, azobenzene, and pyridazine, the addition of diborane(4) to the C≡N and N=N bonds was observed, and theN=N bond in phthalazine was cleaved by an addition/rearomatization sequence.

DFT Studies on Copper-Catalyzed Dearomatization of Pyridine
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic theoretical study has been performed with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the mechanism of asymmetric 1,4-dearomatization of free pyridine with styrene and d...
