1,1-Organodimetallic reagents are valuable starting materials for the construction of multifunctionalized molecules. Among them, 1,1-diborylalkanes, which contain two boryl groups at the same carbon center, are particularly attractive due to their ease of handling, non-toxicity, stability, and propensity to undergo a variety of organic transformations. In this context, our lab is highly interested in the development of regio, chemo and stereoselective organic reactions using 1,1-diborylalkanes as new types of organodimetallic reagents. In this seminar, the details about our recent findings using 1,1-diborylalkanes in a range of organic transformations will be presented.1-7
