Studies in Selective C-C Bond Formation via Borylation and Dehydrogenation
Three stories of C-C bond formation are presented. First, we attempt to harness the Lewis acidity of boron to induce chemo- and regioselectivity in two fundamental organic reactions (Chapter 1). We explore 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes via formation of a three-membered cyclic intermediate with...
