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.
