Abstract
Abstract Organoboranes are important reagents in modern synthetic organic chemistry. The C−B bonds presented in these derivatives are transformable into a C−X (X=C, N, O, and halogen) bonds stereoretentively to provide valuable complex molecules employed in medicinal chemistry, agrochemicals, natural products, and materials science. The homogeneous transition‐metal‐catalyzed borylation reaction is one of the most effective methodologies to synthesize organoboranes. However, these catalytic systems suffer from the inability to recover the catalysts and metal contamination into products, which limits their application towards chemical and pharmaceutical processes. Recently, the metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs)‐based heterogeneous catalytic systems have gained prominence to overcome these limitations. This review article surveys the employment of MOFs‐based catalysts in the borylation reactions, and the related mechanisms are also discussed.
