The Ni-catalyzed decarbonylative borylation of (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids with B2cat2 has been achieved without recourse to any additives. This Ni-catalyzed method exhibits a broad substrate scope covering poorly reactive non-ortho-substituted (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids, and tolerates diverse functional groups including some of the groups active to Ni0 catalysts. The key to achieve this decarbonylative borylation reaction is the choice of B2cat2 as a coupling partner that not only acts as a borylating reagent, but also chemoselectively activates aryl carboxylic acids towards oxidative addition of their C(acyl)?O bond to Ni0 catalyst via the formation of acyloxyboron compounds. A combination of experimental and computational studies reveals a detailed plausible mechanism for this reaction system, which involves a hitherto unknown concerted decarbonylation and reductive elimination step that generates the aryl boronic ester product. This mode of boron-promoted carboxylic acid activation is also applicable to other types of reactions.

One of the most useful chemical transformations of organoboronic acids is the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Although it has vast application, it possesses some limitations: boronic acids can be difficult to quantify accurately due to their tendency to form oligomeric anhydrides and they must be activated under basic conditions. To address these problems, a new class of boronic acid derivatives is described. Phenoxy-dialkoxy borates are prepared under mild conditions and show good solubility in common organic solvents. These adducts can be used in base-free metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, including orthogonal reactions with MIDA boronates and trifluoroborates.
