Novel synthesis of arylboronic acids by electroreduction of aromatic halides in the presence of trialkyl borates

Abstract

A novel preparation of aryl and heteroarylboronic acids by an electrochemical coupling reaction is described. It is based on the reductive coupling between aromatic or heteroaromatic halides and a trialkyl borate. The reactions are carried out in DMF or THF with the use of sacrificial aluminium or magnesium anodes in a single-compartment cell. Arylboronic acids are obtained with moderate to good selectivities and isolated yields.
