Reagent for base-mediated borylation

Pinacol ester (dimethylphenylsilyl)boronic acid

(Dimethylphenylsilyl)boronic acid pinacol ester is a reagent capable of transition-metal-free base-mediated boryl substitution of an aryl halide1. It is a shelf-stable liquid, well soluble in all common organic solvents2. The reagent is a good choice for preparing pharmaceuticals because of the high cost of the catalysts and the potential for contamination of the products with residual transition-metal impurities. The reaction exhibits high functional group compatibility and can be applied to substrates bearing ester and amide functional groups1,2. Sterically demanding substrates also undergo the reaction effectively.

Synonyms: 2-(dimethylphenylsilyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane; (dimethylphenylsilyl)pinacolborane; (dimethylphenylsilyl)boronic acid pinacol ester; dimethyl-phenyl-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)silane; dimethyl(phenyl)(tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)silane
