Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of [Ir(μ-OMe(COD)](50 mg, 0.015 mmol, 3 mol %) and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (1.292 g, 9.79 mmol) was added a solution of 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine (0.039 g, 0.147 mmol) in n-hexane (3 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 minute and then added to a vessel containing 3-fluorothiophene (0.5 g, 4.90 mmol) dissolved in hexane (3 mL). The mixture was allowed to react at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was subsequently evaporated and used without further work up.
