The copper-photocatalyzed borylation of aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl and alkyl halides( Ia nd Br) was reported. The reaction proceededu sing an ew heteroleptic Cu complex under irradiation with blue LEDs, givingt he corresponding boronic-acid esters in good to excellent yields. The reactionw as extended to continuous-flowc onditions to allow an easy scale-up. The mechanism of the reaction was studied and am echanism based on ar eductive quenching (Cu I /Cu I */Cu 0 )w as suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
