Abstract

Boronic acids are important intermediates and molecular recognition moieties in a wide variety of applications. In our research, we have found that the synthesis of ortho-substituted arylboronic acids is problematic with the commonly used bis (pinacolato) diboron in palladium-mediated borylation reactions. As a substitute, we have found that bis (neopentyl glycolato) diboron is a much more efficient borylation agent for the synthesis of sterically ...
