Unreactive
C–N bond activation of anilines was achieved
by photoinduced aerobic borylation. A diverse range of tertiary and
secondary anilines were converted to aryl boronate esters in moderate
to good yields with wide functional group tolerance under simple and
ambient photochemical conditions. This transformation achieved the
direct and facile C–N bond activation of unreactive anilines,
providing a convenient and practical route transforming widely available
anilines into useful aryl boronate esters.
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.
