Regioselective Transition-Metal-Free Arene C-H Borylations: From Directing Groups to Borylation Template Reagents

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2022 Oct 4;61(40):e202210284. doi: 10.1002/anie.202210284. Epub 2022 Aug 26.

Abstract

The latest developments in the field of electrophilic C-H borylation reactions of arenes and heteroarenes without transition metals are briefly overviewed, with a particular emphasis on the latest advances enabling the highly regioselective C-H borylations of indoles and indolines using borylation template reagents.

Keywords: Borenium Ions; C−H Borylations; Directed Borylations; Electrophilic Substitutions; Indoles.
