Platinum-catalysed diborylation of arynes: synthesis and reaction of 1,2-diborylarenes?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2010-01-13 DOI: 10.1039/B919407J

Abstract

Arynes are found to be facilely inserted into bis(pinacolato)diboron by using a platinumisocyanide catalyst, affording diverse 1,2-diborylarenes, which can be converted into o-terphenyls via Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction.
