Abstract
We herein describe the direct Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of dan-substituted, saturated organoboron compounds. Despite its Lewis acidity-diminished and robust character of the boron center, cyclopropyl–B(dan) can be activated by t-BuOK to under-go transmetalation with a palladium complex. The increased s-character of the C–B(dan) bond as compared with other alkyl–B(dan) should be the key to the smooth reaction.
