title: An Efficient Boric Acid Mediated Preparation of α-Hydroxyamides.
abstract: An efficient methodology for the preparation of α-hydroxyamides via boric acid mediated addition of isonitriles on to aldehydes has been developed. The reaction of isonitriles with α-boronobenzaldehyde takes place under intramolecular catalysis conditions to provide functionalized benzoxaboroles.
