Two-fold Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings of cyclic diarylborinic acids are described. This novel annulation method enables the synthesis of benzo-fused heterocycles from dihaloarenes or gem-dibromoolefins.

Heteraborinine-derived borinic acids serve as efficient catalysts for regioselective monofunctionalization of di- and polyols. Arylborinic acids of this type, wherein the B-OH group is incorporated into a 6[small pi] electron system, display both improved catalytic activity for functionalization of diols and enhanced stability towards air oxidation relative to the {\textquoteright}parent{\textquoteright} diphenylborinic acid (Ph2BOH). These properties enable their applications at loadings as low as 0.1 mol\% and without the need for a stabilizing precatalyst ligand (e.g., ethanolamine). Complexation studies, computation and kinetic data suggest that while the heteraborinine-derived borinic acids show significantly lower association constants with substrates than Ph2BOH, this effect is more than compensated for by the increased nucleophilicity of their tetracoordinate diol adducts.

The chelate effect of a tridentate receptor is exploited to determine halogen bonding association constants that vary by several orders of magnitude, including interactions of weak donors for which thermodynamic data were not previously available. Free energy relationships with computed and experimental properties hold over this wide range of donors. The strengths of iodine- and bromine-based halogen bonds, CH-anion and anion-arene interactions are compared.
