The review covers the synthesis and properties as well as the applications of dioxazaboracanes in organic chemistry. The recent uses of dioxazaboracanes as direct reactants, rather than as boronic ester or acid protecting groups, are highlighted and the authors hope that a better understanding of their structures in solution will increase the use of these compounds in direct synthesis.
