Summary:Si-B reagents, namely silylboronic esters and silylboranes, have become increasingly attractive as versatile reagents to introduce silicon and boron atoms into organic frameworks. Diverse transformations through transition-metal-catalysed or transition-metal-free Si-B bond activation have become available. This Review summarises the recent developments in the now broad field of Si-B chemistry and covers the literature from the last seven years as an update of our review on the same topic published in early 2013 (M. Oestreich, E. Hartmann and M. Mewald, Chem. Rev ., 2013, 113 , 402-441). It mainly focuses on new applications of Si-B reagents but new methods of their preparation and, where relevant, reaction mechanisms are also discussed. Covering the past seven years, this review comprehensively summarises the latest progress in the preparation and application of Si-B reagents, including the discussion of relevant reaction mechanisms.
Bibliography:Liangliang Zhang (born in 1991 in Shandong/China) studied chemistry at the Shandong Normal University (2010-2014) and Xiamen University (2014-2017). He obtained his bachelor's (2014) and master's degrees (2017) with Professor Guo Tang. He is currently pursuing graduate research in the group of Martin Oestreich at the Technische Universität Berlin funded by China Scholarship Council.
Wenbin Mao (born in 1991 Danyang/China) studied chemistry at Soochow University (2009-2013 and 2014-2017). He obtained his bachelor's degree (2013) with Professor Baolong Li and master's degree (2017) with Professor Chen Zhu. He is currently pursuing graduate research in the group of Martin Oestreich at the Technische Universität Berlin funded by China Scholarship Council.
Martin Oestreich (born in 1971 in Pforzheim/Germany) is Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Technische Universität Berlin. He received his diploma degree with Paul Knochel (Marburg, 1996) and his doctoral degree with Dieter Hoppe (Münster, 1999). After a two-year postdoctoral stint with Larry E. Overman (Irvine, 1999-2001), he completed his habilitation with Reinhard Brückner (Freiburg, 2001-2005) and was appointed as Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (2006-2011). He also held visiting positions at Cardiff University in Wales (2005), at The Australian National University in Canberra (2010), and at Kyoto University in Japan (2018). Martin recently edited a monograph entitled Organosilicon Chemistry: Novel Approaches and Reactions together with Tamejiro Hiyama.
Jian-Jun Feng (born in 1985 in Jingdezhen/China) received his PhD degree in chemistry from the East China Normal University in 2013 under the supervision of Professor Junliang Zhang. He spent 2013-2014 as a senior synthetic chemist at the WuXi AppTec and 2014-2017 as a Lecturer at East China Normal University. He then moved to the Technische Universität Berlin in 2017 to pursue postdoctoral training in silicon chemistry in Professor Oestreich's group funded by the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung. He joined Hunan University as a full professor in 2020. His research interests include the development of catalytic asymmetric reactions and sustainable catalysis.
