Abstract
Borylation at the benzylic C–H bond of alkylbenzenes with bis (pinacolato) diboron [(Me 4 C 2 O 2) B–B (O 2 C 2 Me 4)] or pinacolborane [(Me 4 C 2 O 2) B–H] was carried out at 100° C in the presence of a catalytic amount of 10% Pd/C. The reaction selectively afforded pinacol benzylboronates in good yields directly from various alkylbenzenes.
