• [72]. Straightforward access to SF5-phenylboronic acids or boronates would be highly desirable since it would allow easy installation of the SF5-phenyl group by the subsequent Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. Nitro-(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenes are the primary industrial SF5-aromatics, therefore the easiest

• . Starting from aniline derivative 1b, a one pot diazotization–borylation sequence using different acids afforded the corresponding borylated product 2b in good yields (Table 3). Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of boronates 2a and 2b with aryl iodides using a simple system without any optimization

• proceeded in satisfactory yields considering the electron-deficient character of the boronates and consequently less efficient transmetallation step (Scheme 4). Transformation to SF5-phenylboronic acid 8b and potassium trifluoroborates 9 was straightforward under standard conditions (Scheme 5). Similar

With the optimized reaction conditions in hand, the scope and the limitations of the cross-coupling reaction was investigated using bromobenzene (13a) and 4-bromoanisole (13b) as elelctrophilic coupling partners and boronates 9–12 (Scheme 1) as the

The cross-coupling reaction of bromobenzene (13a) with boronates 9–12 went smooth affording the coupled products in yields ranging from 68% to 88% (Table 2, entries 1, 3, 5 and 7). The sterically hindered ortho-substituted boronate 11 generally afforded
