“…Alternatively, arylation addition reactions of organoboron reagents to aldehydes have become more prevalent using transition-metal catalysts such as Ni (0), − Pd(II), , Cu(I/II), − Fe(III), Ru(II), , Zn(II), Ir(I), Co(II), and Rh(I)/(II) complexes. − Among the catalysts, the most heavily studied and robust one was shown to be [Rh( COD )Cl 2 ] , as it does not require any additional resources and conditions, such as a microwave, glovebox, additional ligands, anhydrous solvents, and inert atmosphere. Therefore, it was decided to attempt this reaction using a modified Miyaura arylation via [Rh( COD )Cl 2 ], ,, involving the addition of an aromatic boronic acid to aldehyde 6 .…”
