Ring-opening 1,3-arylboration of arylcyclopropanes mediated by BCl3

Abstract

Herein, we report a ring-opening 1,3-arylboration of aryl cyclopropanes using BCl3 in the presence of arene nucleophiles. Formal 1,3-oxy arylation and 1,3-amino arylation of the arylcyclopropane via one-pot derivatization of the installed boron group were also achieved.
