boronic acids (RB (OH) 2) has been studied in the context of their application in Suzuki–
Miyaura coupling. The “slow release” strategy in such SM couplings is only viable if there is
an appropriate gearing of the hydrolysis rate of the RBF3K reagent with the rate of catalytic
turnover. In such cases, the boronic acid RB (OH) 2 does not substantially accumulate,
thereby minimizing side reactions such as oxidative homocoupling and protodeboronation …
