abstract
The NHBoc group affords ortho selective C-H borylations in arenes and alkenes. Experimental and computational studies support an outer sphere mechanism where the N-H proton hydrogen bonds to a boryl ligand oxygen. The regioselectivities are unique and complement those of directed ortho metalations.
