摘要

Boronic acids and esters are among the most versatile building blocks in modern organic synthesis. However, their preparation remains largely dominated by classical solution-phase chemistry. In recent years, unconventional catalytic strategies have emerged that exploit alternative reaction environments and activation modes, enabling access to distinct reactivity patterns. The review discusses non-conventional strategies for synthesising boronic acids and esters, focusing on electrochemical, mechanochemical, microwave-assisted and unconventional media-based approaches developed between 2020 and 2025. The analysis focuses on the impact of alternative reaction environments on (catalyst) activity, selectivity and process efficiency, as compared with classical solution-phase systems. The review identifies areas in which unconventional approaches offer genuine synthetic and operational advantages, while also outlining their current limitations and future directions.
