Abstract
A novel preparation of benzylboronic acids and esters is described by using an electrochemical reductive coupling reaction between benzylic halides and borating agents (trialkylborates or pinacolborane). The reaction is carried out at room temperature in DMF or THF with the use of a sacrificial magnesium anode in a single-compartment cell.
