Abstract

1,2-Bis(alkynyl)benzene derivatives react with strongly electrophilic boranes to yield in boryl-functionalized bulky naphthalene derivatives by means of a sequence of 1,1-carboboration reactions. These substrates can be functionalized by transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
