Aryl-Halide to Aryl-OH

Common Conditions:

1) Borylation 2) H₂O₂

The conversion of aryl halides to aryl alcohols commonly involves a two-step process that first sees the conversion of the aryl halide to an organoborane. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is typically used in the second step to cleave the C-B bond and provide the alcohol product.^[1]

Examples

1) Borylation 2) NaBO₃

The first step involves the conversion of the aryl halide to an organoborane. In the second step, sodium perborate (NaBO3) provides a easy to handle solid that hydrolyzes in the presence of H2O to give hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and borate. NaBO3 is a convenient alternative to H2O2.^[2]
