Synthesis ofUnsymmetrically 1,3,5-TrisubstitutedArenes via Site-Selective Sequential Silylation and Borylation

Abstract A catalytic, site-selective silylation and borylation sequence allows the synthesis of unsymmetrically 1,3,5-trisubstituted arenes. A spirobipyridine ligand bearing a “steric roof”, in combination with iridium creates a catalyst that recognizes the shape of a monosubstit...
