文摘Herein,we report the first electrochemical strategy for the borylation of aryl iodides via a radical pathway using current as a driving force.A mild reaction condition allows an assorted range of readily available aryl iodides to be proficiently converted into synthetically valuable arylboronic esters under transition metal catalyst-free conditions.Moreover,this method also shows good functional group tolerance.Initial control mechanistic experiments reveal the formation of aryl radical as a key intermediate and the current plays an important role in the generation of radical intermediate.
