Abstract

Under very mild conditions, functionalized benzoxaborole derivatives were prepared in good to excellent yields via a palladium-catalyzed Miyaura borylation reaction of readily available unprotected o-bromobenzylalcohols, and bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) without the assistance of an acid. Blue-light-emitting materials based on spiro benzoxaborole building blocks have been obtained with potential applications in organic electronics and biomedicine.
