Abstract

Borylated aryl alkynes have been synthesized via one-pot iridium catalyzed C-H borylation (CHB)/Sonogashira cross-coupling of aryl bromides. Direct borylation of aryl alkynes encountered problems related to the reactivity of the alkyne under CHB conditions. However, tolerance of aryl bromides to CHB made possible a subsequent Sonogashira cross-coupling to access the desired borylated aryl alkynes.
