A simple and efficient palladium-catalyzed reaction of aryl chlorides with
tetrahydroxydiboron gives arylboronic acids. To ensure preservation of the
carbon-boron bond, the boronic acids were efficiently converted in situ to
trifluoroborate derivatives or boronates in very good yields. Finally, a
two-step, one-pot method for the synthesis of biaryls from two aryl chlorides
was developed.

Arylboronic acids and aryl trifluoroborates are synthesized in a one-pot
sequence by Ir-catalyzed borylation of arenes. To prepare the arylboronic acids,
the Ir-catalyzed borylation is followed by oxidative cleavage of the pinacol
boronates with NaIO4. To prepare the aryltrifluoroborate, the
Ir-catalyzed borylation is followed by displacement of pinacol by KHF2.
