Palladium-Catalyzed Direct Hydroxymethylation of Aryl Halides and Triflates with Potassium Acetoxymethyltrifluoroborate

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides and triflates with potassium acetoxymethyltrifluoroborate afforded the corresponding aryl and heteroaryl methanol products in moderate to excellent yields.
