Abstract
A t-BuOLi-promoted Knoevenagel condensation is reported, offering a straightforward method for the rapid construction of Arylid-BOX. This late-stage functionalization method of unsubstituted BOX ligands enables the rapid synthesis of a wide range of Arylid-BOX compounds. We speculate that the relatively small atomic radius of lithium ions contributes to the high yields of this reaction.
