Abstract

The metal-free reaction between diazo compounds and boronic acids has been established in recent years as a powerful C(sp3)–C bond-forming reaction. This account covers the recent advances in this area. First, the various synthetic applications of reactions with N-sulfonylhydrazones as a convenient source of diazo compounds is discussed. These transformations can be regarded as reductive couplings of carbonyl compounds. Also covered is the incorporation of other mild sources of diazo compounds in these reactions: diazotization of amines and oxidation of hydrazones. Finally, the development of sequential and cascade processes is presented.
