Abstract:The C À H borylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds, such as benzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene, 2,6-dichloropyridine, indole, benzothiophene and benzofuran, by bis(pinacolato)diboron or pinacolborane was catalyzed by a 1/2 [IrCl(COD)] 2 -2,6-diisopropyl-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aniline complex. The isopropyl groups of the ligand are essential for obtaining the products in high yield. Octane was a suitable solvent for the reactions of the above compounds except for indole. In the case of indole, DME was better than octane and the yield tended to improve with a smaller amount of the catalyst.
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.
