“…At the outset, we carried out the reactions under the reaction conditions that were similar to the previously reported Sandmeyer-type borylation reactions [47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62], with MeCN as the solvent. We chose 4-methoxyl aniline as the starting material, and no target product could be observed under the classical reaction conditions [ t -BuONO, MeCN, room temperature].…”
