Our latest study introduces a rhodium-catalyzed one-pot method that converts aldehydes and alcohols into vinyl and alkyl boronates via sequential transfer dehydroformylation, isomerization, and borylation. This multicatalytic approach streamlines C–C bond functionalization and expands access to valuable organoboronates from common starting materials. Beyond its synthetic utility, the study showcases the power of multicatalysis—multiple catalytic events using a single catalyst system—to simplify complex transformations and improve the efficiency of fine chemical synthesis.
