The first example of catalytic B-H activation of azaborines leading to a new family of stilbene derivatives through dehydrogenative borylation is reported. Ten 1,2-azaborine-based BN isosteres of stilbenes have been synthesized using this method, including a BN isostere of a biologically active stilbene. It is demonstrated that BN/CC isosterism in the context of stilbenes can lead to significant changes in the observed photophysical properties such as higher quantum yield and a larger Stokes shi ...[more]
