Abstract

A catalyst formed in situ from NiBr2 • diglyme and a pybox ligand accomplishes Miyaura-type borylations of unactivated tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl halides with diboron reagents to furnish alkylboronates. The method exhibits good functional-group compatibility and is regiospecific.
