Arylboron derivatives have found broad applications in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.[1] In particular, various boronic acids,[2] esters, and their derivatives, such as trifluoroborates,[3] MIDA boronates [4] or DAN reagents,[5] have been used very successfully (MIDA= N-methyliminodiacetic acid, DAN= 2, 3-diaminonaphthalene). In general, most arylboronic compounds are prepared via lithium or magnesium ...
