Many Roads to Allylation: A Journey through Organoboron Chemistry

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the synthesis and synthetic applications of allylboron compounds. The discussion is organized according to the different classes of allylboron reagents and highlights representative enantio- and diastereoselective allylation methodologies, including their application to the synthesis of natural products. While particular emphasis is placed on recent advances, selected earlier studies are included to provide historical perspective and present the field in a coherent and balanced manner.
