Abstract

The nickel-catalyzed borylation of aryl halides with 5-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxymethyl)-5-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane, prepared in situ, was achieved. The mild reaction conditions allowed common functional groups in the aryl halides to be tolerated. The products of this borylation are potential precursors of aryl triolborates.

Our attempts to isolate 5-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane also failed. Furthermore, the use of 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane instead of 1 for the one-pot nickel-catalyzed borylation was lacking in reactivity and reproducibility (0-50% yield).
