Catalytic Insertion of Pd–Vinylidenes Into B─H Bonds

ABSTRACT An unprecedented palladium (Pd)‑catalyzed insertion of unsaturated carbenes into B─H bonds is described. Using alkynyl hypervalent iodine reagents as carbene precursors and amine–borane adducts as boron sources, this method delivers a broad range of E ‑configured alkenyl...
