Abstract

Abstract The reaction of borane complexes with arylmagnesium halides produces the corresponding arylborohydrides in high yield. The arylborohydrides are readily hydrolyzed to the arylboronic acids. The syntheses are conveniently carried out in one pot. The reaction mechanism was clarified via a boron-11 NMR study.
