- boron migration occurred during the hydroboration process of spiroviolene that resulted in the production of a mixture of 1α-hydroxyspiroviolane, 9α- and 9β-hydroxyspiroviolane after oxidation. The assertion of the cis-orientation of the 19- and 20-methyl groups provided further support for the revised

- hydrazone groups. The use of N-TAAD derivatives as potential ligands and receptors was showcased through forming boron chelates and host–guest complexes with water and simple alcohols. Keywords: azaadamantanes; cyclotrimerization; hydrazones; inclusion complexes; molecular recognition; Introduction
- 1b) [21][22][23]. In particular, N,N,N-trihydroxy-TAAD derivatives (3O-TAADs) were shown to be chelating ligands for boron [24]. The application of TAAD-boronate complexes was demonstrated by the preparation of conjugates of boronic acids with biomolecules [25][26], COF-like materials [25], and
- of the obtained TAAD derivatives were performed, and the formation of boron chelates and host–guest complexes having an unusual intramolecular H-bonded network was showcased in this work. Results and Discussion Synthesis of 3N-TAADs, 2N,1O-TAADs and 1N,2O-TAADs Our strategy to construct TAAD

- research into the development of new catalytic methodologies, specifically those that use Earth-abundant and low toxicity elements, as an alternative to transition-metal catalysis [9][10]. Using metal-free catalytic systems, including boron-based catalysts, circumvents some of the issues associated with

Both displayed limited tolerance to reducible functionalities. NaHBEt3 is the only known boron-based catalyst

- ; Introduction The development of heteroatom-doped graphitic carbon nitrides (g-CN) has been a rapidly growing area of research since their first report towards water splitting in 2009 [1]. Since that time, the addition of elements such as boron [2], phosphorus [3][4][5], sulfur and oxygen [6] have shown to help
