Abstract

Direct borylation of arylmethanols to synthesize important and useful benzylboronates was carried out through Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed sp3 C–O activation. This borylation is compatible with various functional groups under mild conditions in the absence of any bases, offering an atom- and step-economical way to produce benzylboron compounds.
