Mertins, Kristin; Zapf, Alexander; Beller, Matthias published an article in Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical. The title of the article was 《Catalytic borylation of o-xylene and heteroarenes via C-H activation》.Name: 2-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane The author mentioned the following in the article:
Ir and Rh complexes catalyze the borylation of xylene and different heteroarenes using pinacolborane via C-H activation. Various five-membered heterocycles such as thiophene, pyrrole, thionaphthene, and indole derivatives yield the borylated products in moderate to good yields. In general, the reactions proceed with high selectivity to give borylation ortho to the heteroatom. The experimental process involved the reaction of 2-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane(cas: 401797-00-0Name: 2-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane)
2-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane(cas: 401797-00-0) belongs to hydroxy-containing compounds. Hydroxy groups participate in the dehydration reactions that link simple biological molecules into long chains. The joining of a fatty acid to glycerol to form a triacylglycerol removes the −OH from the carboxy end of the fatty acid.Name: 2-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane
