This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

Borylative functionlization of aryl fluoride was perfomed by a transition metal-free process with sodium dispersion (SD). The reaction of 4-fluorobiphenyl with SD in the prsence of boron alkoxide (iPrOBpin) afforded the borylated product in up to 62% yield. The borylation reaction also proceeded with several aryl fluorides in good to excellent yields.
