Synthesis of organoboron compounds via heterogeneous C–H and C–X borylation

Abstract

Homogeneous C–H and C–X borylation via transition-metal-catalysis have undergone rapid development in the past decades and become one of the most practical methods for the synthesis of organoboron compounds. However, the catalysts employed in homogeneous catalysis are generally expensive, sensitive, and difficult to separate from the reaction mixture and reuse. With the rapid development of heterogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous C–H and C–X borylation have emerged as highly efficient and sustainable approaches towards the synthesis of organoboron compounds. This review aims to highlight the recent advances in the synthesis of organoboron compounds employing heterogeneous C–H and C–X borylation strategies. We endeavor to shed light on new perspectives and inspire further research and applications in this emerging area.
