A New Borylation Method for Alkylbenzene and Polystyrene
Paetzold, Peter,Hoffmann, Juergen
, p. 3724 - 3733 (2007/10/02)
The borylation of alkylbenzenes by Hal2BH (Hal = F, Cl, Br) gives H2 and a mixture of m- and p-alkyl(dihaloboryl)benzenes.In the case of bulky alkyl groups, such as isopropyl, tert-butyl, these are partially split off as R - H and RBHal2.The phenyl groups in polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymers undergo borylation with Br2BH in a 55percent yield.
Methyl group migration in the preparation of o-tolyl- and p-xylyldichloroboranes

In the preparation of o-tolyldichloroborane and p-xylyldichloroborane migration of the methyl group ortho to the BCl2 group occurred. The evidence suggests that rearrangement occurs in a transition state in which the BCl2 group is only weakly bonded to the aromatic system.
