Ni/Cu-Catalyzed Defluoroborylation of Fluoroarenes for Diverse C-F Bond Functionalizations.
Ni/Cu-catalyzed transformation of fluoroarenes to arylboronic acid pinacol esters via C-F bond cleavage has been achieved. Further versatile derivatization of an arylboronic ester has allowed for the facile two-step conversion of a fluoroarene to diverse functionalized arenes, demonstrating the synthetic utility of the method.
