A novel protocol for the transition metal-free 1,2-addition of polyfluoroaryl boronate esters to aldehydes and ketones is reported, which provides secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, and ketones. Control experiments and DFT calculations indicate that both the ortho-F substituents on the polyfluorophenyl boronates and the counterion K<sup>+</sup> in the carbonate base are critical. The distinguishing features of this procedure include the employment of commercially available starting materials ...[more]
