Boronic Acid catalyzed friedel-crafts reactions of allylic alcohols with electron-rich arenes and heteroarenes.
Pentafluorophenylboronic acid catalyzes the regioselective coupling of structurally diverse allylic alcohols with a variety of electron-rich aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates under ambient conditions. The commercially available catalyst is recoverable and air and moisture stable, and the reaction produces water as the only byproduct.
