Key words
benzannulation - aromatic boronic esters - nickel

Significance
A new nickel-catalyzed benzannulation of cyclobutenones with alkynylboronates to yield aromatic boronic esters has been disclosed. Furthermore, a one-pot cycloaddition-coupling protocol has been developed, whereby the nickel catalyst performs firstly the benzannulation and afterwards the cross-coupling.
Comment
Alkynylboronates bearing sp³-based substituents show high selectivity for isomer A, whereas those bearing sp²-based substituents mainly favor isomer B.
