Stereospecific alkyl–alkyl cross-coupling of boronic esters
8+ hour, 42+ min ago (468+ words) Cross-coupling of aryl boronic esters forms a cornerstone of how chemists make molecules. More recently, enantiomerically enriched boronic esters have shown great promise in modular synthesis as versatile building blocks for the rapid construction of diverse molecules. A significant challenge…...
