Selective α-Me–C(sp <sup>3</sup> )–H borylation of methyl sulfides controlled by substrate–ligand electrostatic interaction
An iridium/bipyridine catalyzed selective α-Me–C(sp 3 )–H borylation of aryl methyl sulfides was developed. The high site-selectivity was achieved by an π–π stacking interaction between the substrate and an electron-deficient bipyridine ligand
