“…Since 2003, aminoboranes have been used as borylation agents in palladium-catalyzed transformations of aryl bro-mides, iodides, and triflates (Scheme 1). [11] We recently extended the use of such aminoboranes for the direct synthesis of biaryl compounds, [12] and also employed aminoboranes in iron-, [7c] zirconium-, [7d] and titanium-catalyzed [7d] borylation of arenediazonium salts. In these reactions, BH 2 NiPr 2 1, which is readily prepared by the thermally-induced dehydrogenation of a diisopropylamine-borane complex, was used.…”
