title: Efficient synthesis of aryl boronates via zinc-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkoxy diboron reagents with aryl halides at room temperature.
abstract: A zinc(II)/NHC system catalyzes the borylation of aryl halides with diboron (4) reagents in the presence of KOMe at rt. This transformation can be applied to a broad range of substrates with high functional group compatibility. Radical scavenger experiments do not support a radical-mediated process.
