Recent Advances in Borylation and Suzuki-Type Cross-Coupling—One-Pot Miyaura-Type C–X and C–H Borylation–Suzuki Coupling Sequence

In the last decades, numerous approaches have been explored for the cross-coupling of biaryl building blocks depending on the presence of boron sources. In fact, these changes have been catalyzed by transition metal complexes. This review focuses on the progress of the last decade in transition metal-catalyzed C–X borylation and direct C–H borylation, with emphasis on nickel-catalyzed C–H borylation, as effective and affordable protocols for the borylation of aryl substrates. In addition, Suzuki-type cross-coupling by activation of C–H, C–C, or C–N bonds is also reported. This study then offers an overview of recent advances for the synthesis of bi- and multi-aryls found in synthetic molecular complexes and natural products using the transition metal-catalyzed one-pot Miyaura-type C–X and C–H borylation–Suzuki coupling sequence.
