Arylboration of Cyclic Enones via Cooperative Copper/Palladium Catalysis We report a Cu/Pd co-catalyzed method for the anti-selective arylboration of cyclic enones. A conjugate borylation/enolate trapping mechanism is proposed, facilitated by a high Pd:Cu ratio and use of ...

Our journey into using enones in cross-coupling continues with our latest article in Org Lett. Diastereoselective arylboration gives a great starting point for making complex carbocycles. Led by recent MSc graduate Kian Mansour and PhD candidate @piyaschem.bsky.social

Thanks! Certainly one of the stranger reactions we've studied. Hopefully a useful one!

Simple reaction conditions give rise to a metal-free styrene hydroalkylation reaction. Great work from group members Piers and Hana now online @angewandtechemie.bsky.social: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
