Asymmetric synthesis of optically pure organoboron compounds is a topic that has received
a number of attentions owing to their particular importance in synthetic chemistry
and drug discovery. We herein highlight recent advances in the iridium-catalyzed C–H
borylation of diarylmethylamines and cyclopropanes enabled by chiral bidentate boryl
ligands.
Key words
chiral boryl ligand - C–H borylation - asymmetric C–H activation - diarylmethylamine
- cyclopropane - iridium - asymmetric catalysis
