Selective carbon-carbon bond activation is important in chemical industry and fundamental organic synthesis, but remains challenging. In this study, non-polar unstrained Csp2-Csp3 and Csp2-Csp2 bond activation was achieved by B(OMe)3/B2pin2-mediated fragmentation borylation. Various indole derivatives underwent C2-regioselective C-C bond activation to afford two C-B bonds under transition-metal-free conditions. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggested that C-B bond formation and C-C bond cleavage probably occurred in a concerted process. This new reaction mode will stimulate the development of reactions based on inert C-C bond activation. This journal is

This Article describes the development of a base-free, nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative coupling of carboxylic acid fluorides with diboron reagents to selectively afford aryl boronate ester products. Detailed studies were conducted to assess the relative rates of direct transmetalation between aryl boronate esters and diboron reagents and a bisphosphine nickel(aryl)(fluoride) intermediate. These investigations revealed that diboron reagents undergo transmetalation with this Ni(aryl)(fluoride) intermediate at rates significantly faster than their aryl boronate ester congeners. Furthermore, the reactivity of both boron reagents toward transmetalation is enhanced with increasing electrophilicity of the boron center. These mechanistic insights were leveraged to develop a catalytic decarbonylative borylation of acid fluorides that proved applicable to a variety of (hetero)aryl carboxylic acid fluorides as well as diverse diboron reagents. The acid fluorides can be generated in situ directly from carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the mechanistic studies directed the identification of various air-stable Ni pre-catalysts for this transformation.
