The development of strategies to access boronate esters from ubiquitous aliphatic C−H bonds is of long-standing interest in the synthesis community. Now a photoelectrochemically driven C(sp3)−H borylation reaction of alkanes is developed, in which iron, an abundant earth-based resource, is employed as a photoelectrochemical catalyst.
