Abstract

Acting as go-between: A rhodium borate and perborate have been identified as intermediates in the rhodium-mediated oxygenation of pinacolborane (HBpin; see scheme). The rhodium(III)–peroxo complex reacts with the Lewis acidic boron compound HBpin by oxygen transfer from the rhodium center to HBpin to give a rhodium(I) species. The reaction sequence might play a crucial role in the homocoupling of boronic acid.
