Abstract

Abstract Naphthylboronic acids prepared as reported in the literature are contaminated with HCl. A very simple purification prior to their use in Suzuki–Miyaura couplings has been found to be crucial, rendering efficient some reactions that had been reported in the literature either to fail or to give extremely poor yields. With this improvement, parent boronic acids can be used instead of esters at moderate temperatures, and bromo derivatives can ...
