Abstract
In an efficient and practical visible-light photoredox borylation of aryl halides and subsequent aerobic oxidative hydroxylation, readily available aryl halides and bis(pinacolato)diboron can be used as the starting materials and fac-Ir(ppy)3 as the photocatalyst. The reaction provides a wide range of arylboronic esters and phenols in good yields. The methods show some advantages including simple equipment, mild conditions, and easy operation.
