- The research focuses on a new method for ortho C-H borylation of aromatic phosphonates, utilizing simple starting materials and easily available catalysts.
- This technique allows for the creation of -phosphonate arylboronic esters that have diverse functional groups and substitution patterns.
- These newly formed products are versatile intermediates, enabling the synthesis of a wide array of highly substituted phosphoarenes, along with potential further modifications.
