Electrophile-induced 1,2-Metallate Rearrangement of Alkenyl Borates

Abstract

To date, a large number of transformations utilizing organoboranes have been developed. In this review, electrophile-induced 1,2-metallate rearrangement of alkenyl borates will be focused. Since Zweifel’s pioneering work, a number of reactions utilizing the rearrangement have been reported. Some of the reactions will be presented.
