ChemInform Abstract: A Convergent, Modular Approach to Functionalized 2, 1‐Borazaronaphthalenes from 2‐Aminostyrenes and Potassium Organotrifluoroborates. Issue 23 (10th June 2014) - Wisniewski, Steven R.
Abstract A convergent approach is developed to synthesize disubstituted 2, 1‐borazaronaphthalenes from N‐substituted 2‐aminostyrenes and potassium organotrifluoroborates, where the potassium organotrifluoroborate is converted to the active R—BX2 species (X = Cl or F) in situ by addition of a fluorophile.
