Abstract
An oxyboration reaction with activated substrates provides borylated isoxazoles, which are potential building blocks for drug discovery, via B-O σ bond additions to C-C π bonds. Although this reaction can be effectively catalyzed by gold, an uncatalyzed oxyboration is possible too. This oxyboration reaction tolerates groups incompatible with alternative lithiation/borylation and palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/borylation technologies.
