Abstract

A mild, efficient, Cu(I)-catalyzed method for the conversion of arylboronic acids to aryl chlorides is reported. This method is particularly useful for the conversion of electron-deficient arylboronic acids to aryl chlorides, a transformation that is inefficient in the absence of Cu catalysis.
