Room-temperature CH borylation using a stoichiometric amount of arenes and bis (pinacolato) diboron (pin2B2) is efficiently catalyzed by iridium (I) complexes generated from Ir (OMe) (cod) 2 (cod=1, 5-cyclooctadiene) and 4, 4′-di-tert-butyl-2, 2′-bipyridine (dtbpy) in hexane, and provides the corresponding arylboronates in excellent yields Eq. (1).
