Controlling regioselectivity is one of the most challenging aspects for the construction of aryl boron compounds, and there are few practical and general strategies for such transformations. Here, the authors report an iridium-catalyzed trialkoxysilane protecting group-assisted regioselective C–H borylation with various aromatic compounds.
