The catalytic cross-coupling of arylboronic acids with pyridines through single-electron oxidation provides efficient access to substituted heterocycles. Despite the importance of this reaction, very little is known about its mechanism, and as a consequence, it is unclear whether the full scope of the transformation has been realized. Here we present kinetic and spectroscopic evidence showing a high degree of complexity in the reaction system. The mechanism derived from these studies shows the a ...[more]
