Iridium-catalyzed diborylation of benzylic C–H bonds
Arene C(sp2)-H bond borylation reactions provide rapid and efficient routes to synthetically versatile boronic esters. While iridium catalysts are well established for this reaction, the discovery and development of methods using Earth-abundant alternatives is limited to just a few examples. Applying an in situ catalyst activation method using air-stable and easily handed reagents, the iron Molecules | Free Full-Text | Weinreb Amides as Directing Weinreb amides are a privileged, multi-functional group with well-established utility in classical synthesis. Recently, several studies have demonstrated the use of Weinreb amides as interesting substrates in transition metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization reactions. Herein, we review this part of the literature, including the metal catalysts, transformations explored so far and specific Silanol: a traceless directing group for Pd-catalyzed o Jul 21, 2011 S. M.

group can function as a traceless directing group for C!H borylation reactions of nitrogen heterocycles and anilines. We have previously demonstrated that the tert-butoxy-carbonyl (Boc) group can be used as a directing group in Ir-catalyzed borylations of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, such as pyrroles, indoles, azaindoles, and pyrazoles.[5b
