Photocatalytic direct borylation of carboxylic acids

Boronic acids are useful reagents in organic synthesis and thus methods to prepare these compounds under mild conditions are desirable. Here, the authors synthesize boronic acids via photocatalytic decarboxylation of benzoic acids followed by borylation; guanidine-type additives are used to assist t...
