Abstract

A general and convenient protocol for the electrophilic borylation of aryl Grignard reagents prepared from arylbromides by direct insertion of magnesium in the presence of LiCl or by Mg/Br exchange with (i)PrMgCl·LiCl has been developed. Various aryl boronic acids were synthesized in a straightforward manner in excellent yields at 0 °C.
