Abstract
An operationally simple decarboxylative borylation reaction of readily available aliphatic acid derivatives under additive-free visible-light photoredox conditions provides primary and secondary alkyl boronates or tetrafluoroborates with various functional groups. A catalytic cycle involving alkyl radical reaction with base-activated diboron species has been proposed.
