Platinum catalysed 3,4- and 1,4-diboration of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using bis-pinacolatodiboron (2004)
Journal Article
Bell, N., Cox, A., Cameron, N., Evans, J., Marder, T., Duin, M., …Tooze, R. (2004). Platinum catalysed 3,4- and 1,4-diboration of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using bis-pinacolatodiboron. Chemical Communications, 1854-1855

Bis-pinacolatodiboron reacts with alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give 1,4- and unprecedented 3,4-additions in the presence of a second generation Pt(0) catalyst at ambient temperature.

Two contrasting ethynyl hydroboration pathways in the formation of a novel tris-hydroboration product from reaction of dimesitylborane with 2,5-diethynylpyridine (2004)
Journal Article
Entwistle, C., Batsanov, A., Howard, J., Fox, M., & Marder, T. (2004). Two contrasting ethynyl hydroboration pathways in the formation of a novel tris-hydroboration product from reaction of dimesitylborane with 2,5-diethynylpyridine. Chemical Communications, 702-703

Reaction of 2,5-diethynylpyridine with dimesitylborane, [(Mes)(2)BH](2) (Mes = mesityl = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2), gave the unexpected tris-hydroboration product 1-{(Mes)(2)B)-2-[Z-1-((Mes)(2)B)ethylidene]-5-[E-{(Mes)(2)B)vinyl]-1,2-d ihydropyridine, which has...
