A paper published by Ruben Martin et al. in JACS is one of the most downloaded articles over the past 12 months. The paper was published in September 2015.
The article describes a Ni-catalyzed borylation via C–F activation. This protocol is distinguished by a wide scope, including unactivated fluoroarenes, without compromising its efficiency and scalability, thus representing a significant step-forward toward the implementation of C–F activation protocols.
