Miyaura borylation, also known as the Miyaura borylation reaction, is a named reaction in organic chemistry that allows for the generation of boronates from vinyl or aryl halides with the cross-coupling of bis(pinacolato)diboron in basic conditions with a catalyst such as PdCl2(dppf).
The resulting borylated products can be used as coupling partners for the Suzuki reaction.
[1] The Miyaura borylation has shown to work for: Alkyl halides,[2] aryl halides,[1][3][4] aryl halides using tetrahydroxydiboron,[5] aryl halides using bis-boronic acid,[6] aryl triflates,[7] aryl mesylates,[8] vinyl halides,[9] vinyl halides of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds,[10] and vinyl triflates.
