title: Organotrifluoroborates: protected boronic acids that expand the versatility of the Suzuki coupling reaction.
abstract: Organotrifluoroborates represent an alternative to boronic acids, boronate esters, and organoboranes for use in Suzuki-Miyaura and other transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The trifluoroborate moiety is stable toward numerous reagents that are often problematic for other boron species. Consequently, remote functional groups within the organotrifluoroborates can be manipulated, while retaining the valuable carbon-boron bond.
