Significance

Hull and co-workers report an oxidative cross-nucleophile strategy for the alkylarylation of vinyl arenes using two different boronic acids. This operationally simple and scalable protocol provides straightforward access to 1,1-diarylalkanes.

Comment

Mechanistic investigations support the shown mechanism. Lewis pair formation of the in situ formed boroxines and the added amine was found to be crucial for this transformation (see gray box).
