Abstract
A Co(I)-catalyzed, selective preparation of 1,1,1-tris(boronates) from vinylarenes and bis(pinacolato)diboron occurs at ambient temperature with excellent selectivity, high yields, and good functional group tolerance via double dehydrogenative borylations to generate an 1,1-diborylalkene intermediate followed by a hydroboration with pinacolborane formed in situ to yield the desired 1,1,1-tris(boronate).
