T1 - Copper‐Catalyzed Oxidative Cross‐Coupling of Electron‐Deficient Polyfluorophenylboronate Esters with Terminal Alkynes JF - Chemistry – A European Journal N2 - We report herein a mild procedure for the copper‐catalyzed oxidative cross‐coupling of electron‐deficient polyfluorophenylboronate esters with terminal alkynes. This method displays good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope, generating cross‐coupled alkynyl(fluoro)arene products in moderate to excellent yields. Thus, it represents a simple alternative to the conventional Sonogashira reaction.

T1 - Fluorinated Aryl Boronates as Building Blocks in Organic Synthesis JF - Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis N2 - Organoboron compounds are well known building blocks for many organic reactions. However, under basic conditions, polyfluorinated aryl boronic acid derivatives suffer from instability issues that are accelerated in compounds containing an ortho‐fluorine group, which result in the formation of the corresponding protodeboronation products. Therefore, a considerable amount of research has focused on novel methodologies to synthesize these valuable compounds while avoiding the protodeboronation issue. This review summarizes the latest developments in the synthesis of fluorinated aryl boronic acid derivatives and their applications in cross‐coupling reactions and other transformations. image KW - homogeneous catalysis KW - boron reagents KW - boronates KW - fluorine KW - fluoroarene Y1 - 2021 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-225908 VL - 363 IS - 9 SP - 2224 EP - 2255 ER -
