Summary:

"The ability to precisely manipulate molecular structure underpins our capacity to design and develop new drugs and materials with novel or improved properties. A critical first step in this process is the borylation of small molecules, which grants access to complex molecular architectures that serve as precursors to compounds with unique biological and therapeutic potential. These transformations typically rely on selective bond-breaking and bond-forming events, often mediated by catalysts that enable the controlled introduction of functional groups. In today's world, with growing awareness of our environmental impact, it is imperative that such chemical processes are sustainable. Advancing catalytic systems in line with green chemistry principles requires the development of modern catalytic strategies and innovative approaches to bond activation. Although the fields of sustainable catalysis and small-molecule borylation encompass a wide range of systems and methodologies, this primer aims to provide an introductory framework for understanding the structural features of sustainable homogeneous main-group and first-row transition metal catalysts, as well as the fundamental mechanisms underlying carbon-boron bond-forming transformations catalyzed by these systems - transformations that play a significant role in the fine chemicals industry. This primer is intended for students beginning their research journey into the exciting world of homogeneous catalysis. We hope it inspires you to think creatively about catalyst design, often the first step toward unlocking transformations once believed to be out of reach. Whether you are new to the field or revisiting its fundamentals, we invite you to explore these concepts with curiosity and imagination"-- Provided by publisher
