Iridium‐Mediated Borylation of Benzylic CH Bonds by Borohydride

Abstract

Simple source: An intramolecular iridium-mediated CH borylation proceeds through transfer of a BH3 fragment from borohydride to a benzylic carbon center (see scheme; coe=cyclooctene). Simple and inexpensive LiBH4 is thus utilized as the boron source in CH to CB conversion. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
