Cope-Type Hydroamination of Vinylboronates.

Area of Science:

• Organic Chemistry
• Medicinal Chemistry

Background:

• Aminoboronic acid derivatives are valuable synthetic intermediates and pharmacophores.
• Their synthesis remains a significant challenge in organic chemistry.

Purpose of the Study:
