Cedranediolborane as a borylating agent for the preparation of boronic acids: Synthesis of a boronated nucleoside analogue
Cedranediolborane can be cross-coupled with aryl iodides under Pd(0) catalysis to yield aryl boronates which can easily be deprotected to form the corresponding free boronic acids. The application of this methodology has led to the preparation of a boronated nucleoside indole analogue.
