Abstract
Diarylborinic acid catalysis is an efficient and general method for selective acylation, sulfonylation, and alkylation of 1,2- and 1,3-diols. The efficiency, generality, and operational simplicity of this method are competitive with those of the broadly applied organotin-catalyzed reactions. A mechanism is suggested, in which a tetracoordinate borinate complex reacts with the electrophilic species in the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic cycle.
