Although much current research focuses on developing new boron reagents and identifying robust catalytic systems for the cross-coupling of these reagents, the fundamental preparations of the nucleophilic partners (i.e., boronic acids and derivatives) has been studied to a lesser extent. Most current methods to access boronic acids are indirect and require harsh conditions or expensive reagents. A simple and efficient palladium-catalyzed, direct synthesis of arylboronic acids from the corresponding aryl chlorides using an underutilized reagent, tetrahydroxydiboron B2(OH)4, is reported. To ensure preservation of the carbon-boron bond, the boronic acids were efficiently converted to the trifluoroborate derivatives in good to excellent yields without the use of a workup or isolation. Further, the intermediate boronic acids can be easily converted to a wide range of useful boronates. Finally, a two-step, one-pot method was developed to couple two aryl chlorides efficiently in a Suzuki-Miyaura-type reaction.
