Scheme 3.
Na(2-EH) activated borylation of furan and thiophene derivatives using dmpe2FeCl2 1. a Yields determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy of the crude reaction mixtures using 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene as an internal standard. Product ratios were determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy of the crude reaction mixtures. b Values represent the ratio of 2-boryl:3-boryl:bis-boryl products.
