In the past decades, the iridium-catalyzed C–H bond borylation and other newly discovered catalytic borylation reactions have received extensive research interests and developed into a practical approach for functionalization of C−H bonds and therefore an effective and versatile tool in synthesis of novel organic materials, natural products and fine chemicals. The advances of this booming field include significant improvements of the venerable iridium-catalyzed borylation and development of other transition-metal, especially the first-row transition-metal catalyzed borylation. More recently, a metal-free catalytic borylation system has been disclosed. These new methodologies has dramatically expanded the substate scope, increased the reaction efficiency, lowered the cost, and more importantly, provided previously unknown complementary chemical and regioselectivity. During these discoveries, novel catalyst design concepts and/or principles have been generated. In this context, this review aims to detail the recent evolution in the exciting research direction, focusing on the discovery and development of new reactivity, new selectivity.

在过去的几十年中，铱催化的C-H键硼化和其他新发现的催化硼化反应受到了广泛的研究兴趣，并发展成为一种实用的C-H键官能化方法，因此是一种有效且通用的新型合成方法有机材料，天然产物和精细化学品。这个蓬勃发展的领域的进步包括对古老的铱催化的硼化作用的显着改进以及其他过渡金属，特别是第一行过渡金属催化的硼化作用的发展。最近，已经公开了无金属的催化硼化系统。这些新方法极大地扩展了子状态的范围，提高了反应效率，降低了成本，更重要的是，提供了以前未知的互补化学和区域选择性。在这些发现期间，已经产生了新颖的催化剂设计概念和/或原理。在这种情况下，本综述旨在详细介绍激动人心的研究方向上的最新进展，重点是发现和开发新的反应性，新的选择性。
