Anthranilamide (aam)-substituted arylboranes in direct carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions

Abstract

Anthranilamide (aam)-substituted arylboranes, which were reported to serve as masked boranes in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling, have been found to be directly cross-coupled just by use of an aqueous medium. The excellent stability of 2-pyridyl-B(aam) toward protodeborylation allowed their smooth cross-coupling.
