Potassium organotrifluoroborates already have shown remarkable activities in cross-coupling chemistry. We successfully implemented organotrifluoroborates in microwave irradiated cross-coupling chemistry for direct carbonylation reaction, nitration reaction, and arylation reactions. In this work, we attempted to see the reaction of C-H activated palladium species with potassium organotrifluoroborates. The direct activation of C-H bonds will lead to the same valuable purposes while avoiding the presence of halides, triflates, tosylates, or other good leaving groups in the starting material. This new transformation and its mechanism will be discussed.
