Photochemical and electrochemical C-N borylation of arylhydrazines

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Feb 3;58(11):1716-1719. doi: 10.1039/d1cc06145c.

Abstract

The C-N borylation of arylhydrazine hydrochlorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron was achieved under photochemical and electrochemical conditions, respectively. This novel and scalable transformation provides two efficient and mild transition-metal-free synthetic routes towards aryl boronate esters from easily available arylhydrazines.
