Introduction Organoboron compounds represent one of the most versatile and widely utilized classes of reagents in organic synthesis.1 Unlike most types of organometallic reagents, common organoboron species, such as alkylboronic pinacol esters (APEs), are non-toxic, highly functional-group-tolerant, and bench-stable under ambient conditions.1b The synthesis of organoboron compounds, particularly APEs, is highly modular.2 The iterative homologation of APEs can rapidly and selectively introduce...
