The generation of carbon-centered radicals from air-sensitive organoboron compounds through nucleohomolytic substitution at boron is a general method to generate non-functionalized and functionalized radicals. Due to their reduced Lewis acidity, alkylboronic pinacol esters are not suitable substrates. We report their in situ conversion into alkylboronic catechol esters by boron-transesterification with a substoichiometric amount of catechol methyl borate combined with an array of radical chain processes. This simple one-pot radical-chain deboronative method enables the conversion of pinacol boronic esters into iodides, bromides, chlorides, and thioethers. The process is also suitable the formation of nitriles and allylated compounds through C?C bond formation using sulfonyl radical traps. The power of combining radical and classical boron chemistry is illustrated with a modular 5-membered ring formation using a combination of three-component coupling and protodeboronative cyclization.

A photoredox catalytic method was developed for the direct cyanation of alkyltrifluoroborates. This reaction provides a new and useful transformation of the easily available alkyltrifluoroborates. The photocatalytic reaction can tolerate a variety of functional groups with mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic investigations are consistent with the present reaction following a radical pathway.
Catalytic conjugate addition of cyanide to enones: Cooperative catalysis of Ni(0) and Gd(OTf)

scheme or table, p. 2295 - 2298 (2009/05/27)
An efficient, synthetically useful catalytic cunjugate addition of cyanide to enones was developed using cooperative catalysis of Ni(0) and Gd(OTf) 3. The co-catalyst, Gd(OTf)3, dramatically accelerated the reaction. The substrate sc
