General description

B-Chlorocatecholborane is a boron reagent and a Lewis acid, known to facilitate the borylative cyclization of alkynes to yield the borylated heterocycles. It is also used in the preparation of lactones, and thiophenes.

Application

B-Chlorocatecholborane can be used:
  • To prepare 2-arachidonoylglycerol by acetal cleavage of cis-arachidonoylbenzylidene glycerol.
  • To prepare metal boryl complexes (Rh and Ir complexes) through oxidative addition.
  • To remove the trityl group in one of the key steps for the synthesis of (−)-dictyostatin.
