Photoinduced Borylation Reactions: An Overview

The photochemical reactions perform a progressively important role in the field of green chemistry and organic synthesis from the last decades. It has always been considered as eco-friendly, inexpensive, most abundant and endlessly renewable energy source. The organoboronic acids and esters occupy a central position in the field of chemistry so the development of novel methodology for the preparation of organoboron compounds is essential. In recent years, visible light-induced photoredox catalysis has created a more influence on the preparation of different organoboron compounds using novel synthetic methodologies with very mild and eco-friendly conditions. In this review, we have provided a brief overview of preparation of organoboronic acids or esters from aliphatic, aromatic C-H/C-X and other functional groups by photoredox methodology.
