Abstract

A convenient and ligand-free iridium-catalyzed dehydrogenative ortho C−H borylation of benzyl-2-pyridines has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature using pinacolborane as a borylating reagent in the presence of catalytic amount of [IrOMe(COD)] 2 . The reaction is compatible with many functional groups, providing a vast array of ortho borylated products in moderate to excellent yields with excellent selectivities. (Figure presented.).
