Abstract

Abstract : Linchpin Reagents In the syntheses developed to access naturally occurring compounds, especially bioactive substances, boron‐functionalized dienes (also "linchpin" reagents) are used as key reagents. Recently, linchpin moieties have been proved as useful substrates for a variety of highly functionalized chemical transformations. The products of these processes are potentially of some use for the syntheses of an important class of natural products showing a wide range of biological activities. This review describes progress in the synthesis of borylsubstituted buta‐1, 3‐dienes as well as their application in organic chemistry. For more details see the Review by B. Marciniec et al. on page 3502 ff.
