We are grateful to the personnel in the support services (mass
spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, microanalysis) at the
University of Illinois at Urbana−Champaign. Dr. Lingyang
Zhu is especially thanked for helpful suggestions on NMR
spectroscopy. Mr. Alexander Shved is thanked for preliminary
experiments.

(19) Furthermore, the 19F NMR signals remained as sharp singlets
indicating that no dynamic process was evident. A similar result was
observed for neopentyl 4-fluorophenylboronate ester 22. Where a
discrete intermediate was not observed; however, cross-coupling was
observed.

(20) This conclusion found support in the energies of the
computationally derived structures wherein a 0.97 kcal/mol difference
favoring 19 was calculated (see Section 4.4.5). The computationally
predicted Keq = 0.134 was very close to the experimentally observed
equilibrium concentration Keq = 0.12, (Keq = [19′]/[19]).
(21) Furthermore, the 19F NMR chemical shifts for complex 6 in
THF/CH3OH were measured to be −121.01 ppm (Fa) and − 118.33
ppm (Fb) suggesting a solvent effect for the measurement of these
chemical shifts.
(22) Because of peak broadening in certain 8-B-4 complexes and rapid
formation of cross-coupling product 5 as a strong, sharp signal, the
formation of 5 was found to be more reliable for determination of the
rate.
(23) The similarity of rates for appearance of 5 and consumption of 4
suggests that transmetalation is the rate-determining step for this
process.
(24) The sigmoidal curves made extraction of a comparable rate
constant problematic and therefore were not fitted.

(26) The complexity of this system lends itself to other possible
interpretations. We offer an explanation that is most consistent with all
of the available data, but we cannot unambiguously exclude the
possibility that the diminished rate of 21 relative to complex 4, is the
result of the inherent reactivity of complex 21.
(27) The inability to detect a discrete intermediate with boroxine 28
results from the multitude of boron-containing oligomers that precluded
clear assignment of structure.
