Abstract
The first examples of stoichiometric dehydrogenative B-H/C(sp3 )-H benzylic borylation reactions, which are of relevance to catalytic methylarene (di)borylation, are reported. These unusual transformations involving a (κ2 -P,N)Pt(η3 -benzyl) complex, and either pinacolborane or catecholborane, proceed cleanly at room temperature. Density functional calculations suggest that borylation occurs via successive σ-bond metathesis steps, whereby a PtII -H intermediate engages in C(sp3 )-H bond activation-induced dehydrogenation.
