1) Boron ate complexes do not rearrange at low temperature

2) Electrophilic boron promotes clean ate formation; low side reactivity (beta-elimination)

3) Cations such as Zn, Li, and Mg accelerate rate of 1,2-metallate rearrangement

4) Boronic esters with beta-halides or weakly basic groups are unstable (beta-elimination)

5) C2-symmetric boronic esters are generally more selective in 1,2-metallate rearrangements

( only one diasteriameric TS) than those derived from pinanediol (two diasteriameric Ts)

6) Alkoxy groups (Obn, OPMB, OCPh3), CΞN, are tolerated at alph and beta position

7) To prevent beta-elimination halides, carbonyl, thioether, and cyano substituents

must be at least two carbons from boron

8) RMgX, RLi, RO-, RS-, R2N-, N3

-, and LiCH2CN are effective nucleophiles

9) General utility hampered by the need to exchange chiral diol to invert chiral direction
