The synthesis of small cycloalkyl boronic esters

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Small cycloalkyl boronic esters are valuable structural motifs in synthetic chemistry, owing to the spatial definition of substituents imparted by their ring strain-induced rigid carbon scaffold. The boronic ester can also act as a handle for further functionalisation. Their stereocontrolled synthesis can be achieved through strain-release and ring expansion/contraction chemistry.The synthesis of medicinally relevant substituted cyclobutyl boronic esters from easily accessible 5 membered ring boronate complexes via a ring contraction is to be investigated.
