Abstract

A method for the arylboration of 1-arylalkenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron and aryl chlorides or tosylates by cooperative Ni/Cu catalysis has been developed, which affords 2-boryl-1,1-diarylalkanes in high regio- and stereoselectivity. Under the applied conditions, this method is tolerant toward various functional groups, including silyl ether, alkoxycarbonyl, and aminocarbonyl moieties.
