Radical Reactions of Boron-Ate Complexes Promoting a 1,2-Metallate Rearrangement

Abstract

Recently there has been an explosion of interest in the synthetic community for the addition of radicals into unsaturated organoboron-ate complexes. This review will give a concise outline for radical processes involving boron-ate complexes which trigger a subsequent anionotropic rearrangement.
