Abstract
We introduce herein a carbon nanotube–CuFe2O4-catalyzed borylation reaction of alkenes and alkynes as a practical and sustainable approach. Our system operates with low catalytic loading (0.05 mol%), under air, and the heterogeneous catalyst can be recycled via simple centrifugation. The methodology is of broad scope with a variety of substituted alkenes and alkynes.
