The palladium-catalyzed borylation of aryl iodides with 4,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane is described. The mild reaction conditions employed allow for aryl iodides with a wide variety of functional groups to be tolerated. The products of this borylation were coupled with aryl halides to give biaryls in good yields.
