Arenes bearing boryl and silyl or germyl groups possess unique reactivity and versatility, yet their synthesis often involves complex, multi-step procedures. Here, the authors present a highly efficient, single-step method for synthesizing ortho-boronated arylhydrosilanes and arylgermanes via catalytic C − H borylation reaction.
