Diboron(4) Compounds: From Structural Curiosity to Synthetic Workhorse
This article is also available through American Chemical Society Authorchoice Open Access at http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemrev.6b00193Although known for over 90 years, only in the past two decades has the chemistry of diboron(4) compounds been extensively explored. Many interesting structural features and reaction patterns have emerged, and more importantly, these compounds now feature prominently in both metal-catalyzed and metal-free methodologies for the formation of B-C bonds and other processes.T.B.M. thanks the DFG and the University of Würzburg for
