title: Cross-coupling reaction with lithium methyltriolborate.
abstract: We newly developed lithium methyltriolborate as an air-stable white solid that is convenient to handle. The good performance of this triolborate for metal-catalyzed bond-forming reactions was demonstrated in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with haloarenes. Cross-coupling reaction of [MeB(OCH₂)₃CCH₃]Li with aryl halides occurred in the presence of Pd(OAc)₂/RuPhos complex in refluxing MeOH/H₂O and the absence of bases.
