We report herein a simple, metal- and additive-free, photoinduced borylation of haloarenes, including electron-rich fluoroarenes, as well as arylammonium salts directly to boronic acids. This borylation method has a broad scope and functional group tolerance. We show that it can be further extended to boronic esters and carried out on gram scale as well as under flow conditions.
2-, 3-, and 4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyllithiums: Versatile intermediates offering access to a variety of new organofluorine compounds

Consecutive treatment of (trifluoromethoxy)benzene with sec-butyllithium and electrophilic reagents affords previously inaccessible ortho-substituted derivatives in generally excellent yields. 2-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyllithium acts as the key intermediate. The 3- and 4-isomers can readily be generated from the corresponding 3- and 4-bromo precursors by halogen-metal interconversion with butyllithium or tertbutyllithium. Upon trapping of the 2-, 3- and 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyllithiums with 11 different electrophiles the expected products were formed in generally high yields. Only the attempted nucleophilic addition of 2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyllithium to oxirane did not succeed. This failure is tentatively attributed to a lowering of the nucleophilicity by fluorine-lithium interactions. Conformationally restricted analogs - i.e., 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-phenyllithium and its 5-fluoro- and 5-bromo-substituted congeners - did indeed react smoothly with oxirane, affording the adducts in ordinary yields.
