Bipyridine and phenanthroline are well-established neutral ligands for promoting iridium-catalyzed borylations of aromatic C-H bonds. However, their use with aliphatic substrates is almost uncharted. Herein we demonstrate that introducing CF substituents at the 5- 5'-positions bipyridine generates enable an efficient regioselective borylation methyl group in a broad variety methylamides. The reaction shows functional tolerance exhibits remarkable selectivity, offering powerful approach challenging Mechanistic investigations, including computational analysis, suggest accelerating effect ligand likely associated formation non-covalent dispersion interactions between carbonyl amide trifluoromethylated pyridine rings ligand.
