Wilson, Daniela A. published the artcileNeopentylglycolborylation of Aryl Mesylates and Tosylates Catalyzed by Ni-Based Mixed-Ligand Systems Activated with Zn, Formula: C12H14BNO2, the publication is Journal of the American Chemical Society (2010), 132(6), 1800-1801, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
The mixed-ligand system NiCl2(dppp)/dppf is shown to be an effective catalyst for the neopentylglycolborylation of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl mesylates and tosylates. The addition of Zn powder as a reductant dramatically increases the reaction yield and reduces the reaction time by more than an order of magnitude, providing complete conversion in 1-3 h.
