This work presents a novel approach to achieving stereoselective migratory carboboration of 1,4-cyclohexadiene via nickel catalysis. This innovative transformation allows for the simultaneous introduction of a boron group and an aryl or alkyl fragment into the 1,4-cyclohexadiene framework under mild reaction conditions, exhibiting exclusive regioselectivity and excellent cis configuration. The resulting products contain a double carbon bond and a boronate group, offering significant potential for subsequent transformations and a wide range of downstream applications. More details are discussed in the article by Yin et al. on page 356—362.
