A research group led by Prof. Dai Wen from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has realized borylation reactions involving N-heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC-BH3) with a simple and efficient heterogeneous photocatalytic system, enabling synthesis of high-value transformations including hydroboration and boron substitution products. Their study was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition on Aug. 9.
