Importantly, thienyl-BPin compounds do not react with benzaldehyde under identical conditions, presumably due to their lower Lewis acidity at boron. This demonstrates that this catalytic C-H borylation approach can be harnessed in tandem with the distinct reactivity profile of Ar-BBN derivatives to access value-added products in one-pot from the starting arene. The crude products from zinc-catalyzed C-H borylation also can be telescoped into a Suzuki-Miyaura crosscoupling reaction (Scheme 1, middle), which led to compound 7 in excellent yield for a multistep process. Bench stable borylated derivatives were easily prepared by trans-borylation of thienyl-BBN species with HBPin to generate the Aryl-Bpin congeners (e.g. to form 8).
