Facile access to boryltetralins and borylnaphthalenes via a cycloaddition using o-quinodimethanes.
Borylalkenes are found to serve as efficient dienophiles in a cycloaddition reaction with o-quinodimethanes, giving diverse boryltetralins, which are convertible into borylnaphthalenes via an oxidative aromatization.
