Transition-metal-free regioselective synthesis of alkylboronates from arylacetylenes and vinyl arenes
A transition-metal-free synthesis of alkylboronates from arylacetylenes or vinyl arenes and B2pin2via tandem borylation and protodeboronation has been developed. This reaction features with excellent regioselectivities, broad functional group tolerance and good yields in both small and gram scale.
