A range of N-H alkynylaziridines were prepared from amphoteric unprotected aziridine aldehydes without protecting-group manipulation. Unprotected alpha -amino allenes can be obtained from these strained propargyl amines via a 9-BBN mediated hydride transfer. Further transformation of alpha -amino allenes to 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines was realized. We also developed another class of amphoteric molecules – alpha-boryl aldehydes, equipped with the tetrahedral MIDA boryl group. A wide range of boryl-substituted building blocks or functionalized boronic acid derivatives have been accessed from these bench-stable alpha-borylcarbonyl compounds. Further chemoselective transformations of these alpha-boryl aldehyde
derived building blocks have been conducted, where alph-boryl isocyanates, alpha-aminoboronic acids, acylboronates, and borylated heterocycles were achieved through the decarboxylative functionalization of alpha-borylcarboxylic acids.
