Silylated functionalized arylboronic acids were converted into corresponding iodinated arylboronic acids in good yields via the electrophilic ipso-desilylation effected with iodine chloride in refluxing CHCl3. Disilylated arylboronic acids were susceptible to diiodination. In addition, the structural characterization and reactivity of a novel sterically hindered ortho- silylated diarylborinic ester were reported. The potential of selected iodinated ...
