Significance

A simple one-pot synthesis of both potassium hydroxyaryl- and (hydroxyalkyl)aryltri­fluoroborates was developed. The respective hydroxyl groups are protected in situ via deproto­nation with t-BuLi. The hydroxylated trifluoroborates could be successfully subjected to Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling.

Comment

This method offers an easy one-pot access to various hydroxylated trifluoroborates. Organotrifluoroborates are often superior to their boronic acid or ester counterparts in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions where they are less subject to protodeboronation. Moreover, organotrifluoroborates are stable, crystalline solids that are easy to purify.
