title: Sequential C-F activation and borylation of fluoropyridines via intermediate Rh(I) fluoropyridyl complexes: a multinuclear NMR investigation.
abstract: The C-F bond activation of fluoropyridines by [Rh(SiPh3)(PMe3)3] afforded Rh(I) fluoropyridyl complexes of the type [Rh(Ar(F))(PMe3)3] with concomitant formation of fluorotriphenylsilane; subsequent treatment with bis-catecholatodiboron yielded fac-[Rh(Bcat)3(PMe3)3] and the free fluoropyridyl boronate esters (Ar(F)Bcat).
