title: Room temperature borylation of arenes and heteroarenes using stoichiometric amounts of pinacolborane catalyzed by iridium complexes in an inert solvent.
abstract: Aromatic C-H borylation of arenes and heteroarenes using stoichiometric amounts of pinacolborane was catalyzed by an iridium complex generated from 1/2[Ir(OMe)(COD)]2 and 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine at room temperature in hexane and afforded the corresponding aryl- and heteroarylboronates in high yields with excellent regioselectivities.
