C?H Borylation of arenes has been a subject of great interest recently because of its atom-economy and the wide applicability of borylated products in value-added synthesis. A new bis(silylene)cobalt(II) complex bearing a bis(N-heterocyclic silylene)-pyridine pincer ligand (SiNSi) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. It enabled the regioselective catalytic C?H borylation of pyridines, furans, and fluorinated arenes. Notably, it exhibited complementary regioselectivity for the borylation of fluorinated arenes compared to previously known catalytic systems, demonstrating that N-heterocyclic silylene donors have enormous potential in metal-catalyzed catalytic applications.
Rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular C-H silylation of arenes with high steric regiocontrol

Regioselective C-H functionalization of arenes has widespread applications in synthetic chemistry. The regioselectivity of these reactions is often controlled by directing groups or steric hindrance ortho to a potential reaction site. Here, we report a catalytic intermolecular C-H silylation of unactivated arenes that manifests very high regioselectivity through steric effects of substituents meta to a potential site of reactivity. The silyl moiety can be further functionalized under mild conditions but is also inert toward many common organic transformations, rendering the silylarene products useful building blocks. The remote steric effect that we observe results from the steric properties of both the rhodium catalyst and the silane.
