Recent Expedition in Pd‐ and Rh‐Catalyzed C(Ar)−B Bond Formations and Their Applications in Modern Organic Syntheses

Abstract Transition metal‐catalyzed borylation has emerged as a powerful and versatile strategy for synthesizing organoboron compounds. These compounds have found widespread applications in various aspects, including organic synthesis, materials science, and medicinal chemistry. This review provides a concise summary of the recent advances in palladium‐ and rhodium‐catalyzed borylation from 2013 to 2023. The review covers the representative examples of catalysts, substrates scope and reaction conditions, with particular emphasis on the development of catalyst systems, such as phosphine ligands, NHC‐carbene, and more. The diverse array of borylative products obtained for further applications in Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling, and other transformations, are also discussed. Future directions in this rapidly evolving field, with the goal of designing more efficient, selective borylation methodologies are highlighted, too.
