Towards the borphyrin : head-to-tail macrocycles based on boronate esters
Inspired by the versatility of boronic acid condensation with catechols, we set out to construct boronate-ester based macrocycles by the head-to-tail assembly of precursor that contains both a catechol and a boronic acid on the same molecule. A series of expanded “borphyrin” macrocycles was prepared...
