Abstract

AbstractOrganoboron compounds have extreme potential for organic synthesis. Ready functionalization of organoboron intrigued people to develop various protocols for their synthesis. Over the last several decades, there has been a substantial development in synthesizing new organoboron compounds using transition metals. Among various transition metals, zirconium has also been found to catalyze diverse reactions of organoboron. The zirconium chemistry has become more popular with the development of zirconium metallocenes, particularly bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconocene chloride hydride, the well‐known Schwartz reagent. These zirconium metallocenes possess a significant role in hydrozirconation, hydroboration, hydrogenation, carbozirconation, and a promising tri‐n‐butyl tin hydride alternative. This minireview focuses on the various transformations of organoboron employing zirconium catalysts that have been developed so far.
