Direct coupling of unactivated alcohols remains a challenge in current synthetic chemistry. We herein demonstrate a strategy building upon in situ halogenation/reductive coupling of alcohols with aryl halides to forge Csp2-Csp3 bonds. The combination of 2-chloro-3-ethylbenzo[d]oxazol-3-ium salt (CEBO) and TBAB as the mild bromination reagents enables rapid transformation of a wide range of alcohols to their bromide counterparts within one to 5 min in CH3CN and DMF, which is compatible with the Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling conditions in the presence of a chemical reductant. The present method is suitable for arylation of a myriad of structurally complex alcohols with no need for prepreparation of alkyl halides. More importantly, the mild and kinetically rapid bromination process has shown good selectivity in the bromination/arylation of symmetric diols and less sterically hindered hydroxyl groups in polyols, thus offering promise for selective functionalization of diols and polyols without laborious protecting/deprotecting operations. The practicality of this work is also evident in the arylation of a number of carbohydrates, drug compounds, and naturally occurring alcohols.

The use of low-cost iron(III) acetoacetate (Fe(acac)3) and tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) enables the direct cross-coupling of alkyl halides with bis(pinacolato)diboron. This approach allows for the borylation of activated or unactivated primary, secondary, and tertiary bromides. Moreover, even the borylation of benzylic or allylic chlorides, tosylates, and mesylates are possible. The reactions proceed under mild conditions at room temperature and show broad functional-group compatibility and "robustness" as measured by a modified Glorius robustness screen.
