Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of organic boronic acid derivatives involving the reaction of an organic compound with diboronic acid in the presence of a Group 8-11 metal catalyst.

Abstract: The invention relates to processes for the synthesis of aryl or alkene borates which comprises reacting: (i) an olefinic compound having a halogen or halogen-like substituent in a vinylic substitution position, or (ii) an aromatic ring having a halogen or halogen-like substituent in a ring substitution position, with a disubstituted monohydroborane in the presence of a Group 8–11 metal catalyst. The invention also relates to the use of these borates in coupling reactions. The invention further relates to certain disubstituted monohydroboranes and aryl or alkene borates.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for covalently coupling organic compounds which comprises reacting an aromatic ring compound having a halogen or halogen-like substituent at a coupling position with a diboron derivative in the presence of a Group VIII metal catalyst and a suitable base.
