Palladium-Catalyzed Double Borylation of Diaryl Sulfoxides with Diboron

Published as part of the Special Topic Modern Strategies for Borylation in Synthesis

Abstract

Borylation of the C–S bond of diaryl sulfoxides with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B₂pin₂) is accomplished by means of a phosphine-ligated palladium catalyst and LiN(SiMe₃)₂ as a base. Both of the aryl rings of the diaryl sulfoxides are converted into borylated products.

Key words

borylation - diaryl sulfoxide - C–S cleavage - palladium - diboron
