Abstract

The first Suzuki− Miyaura cross-coupling of an aryl O-carbamate, a versatile and powerful directed metalation group (DMG) in directed ortho metalation (D o M) chemistry, is described using the inexpensive, bench-stable catalyst NiCl2 (PCy3) 2. Broad synthetic scope and good efficiency are demonstrated for aryl and heteroaryl O-carbamates. The role of water and hydrolysis equilibrium between free boronic acid and boroxine was established to be ...
