Abstract

Abstract : Alkylation The alkyl chain of boronic acids is transferred to simple unbiased arenes at the "manganese station" to get interesting alkylarenes. More precisely, manganese(III) acetate promotes the formal C−H alkylation of arenes with boronic acids as alkylating agents through a process where radicals seem to be involved. The possibility of accessing linear n ‐alkyl arenes by this method is particularly remarkable because traditional direct arene alkylation procedures (Friedel–Crafts alkylation) do not allow the synthesis of this particular type of compounds.
