Regioselective copper-catalyzed boracarboxylation of vinyl arenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron and carbon dioxide has been achieved. New boron-functionalized α-aryl carboxylic acids, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are obtained in moderate to excellent yields. The synthetic utility of the transformation was shown through subsequent derivatization of the carbon-boron bond yielding formal hydroxy- and fluorocarboxylation products as well as anionic difluoroboralactones.
