Redox‐Neutral Vicinal Dialkylation of Aryl Boronic Esters via the Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new mode of the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis, that is, redox‐neutral difunctionalization of aryl boronic esters with two electrophiles, has been developed, which can be used to streamline the preparation of a functionalized benzoazepane.
