Abstract
Abstract This account describes our work concerning the application of alkylboranes to addition reactions to unsaturated compounds, with catalysis by copper. Alkylboranes are readily obtained from standard alkene hydroboration reactions, which is an advantage of these processes. The substrates can contain a wide range of functional groups. The reactions described herein include the formation of alkylcopper(I) species via the catalytic B/Cu transmetallation of alkylboranes and subsequent addition to unsaturated carbon–carbon bonds or carbon dioxide.
