Previous work in our group demonstrated that aryl alkyl thioethers undergo selective C(sp 3 )-S bond cleavage upon electroreduction, providing access to carbon-centered intermediates amenable for C-H and C-C bond forming reactions. Furthermore, a separate study had shown that borohydride reagents could efficiently be used to fuel the anodic counter reaction using inert electrodes for deoxygenative transformations of alcohols. Starting from these findings, this work set out to develop a metal-free protocol for the formation of alkylboronic acids via a direct electrolytic desulfurative borylation route (Figure ).
