29. Triaryl boroxines can be easily prepared from aryl boronic acids by heating and represent the most atom-economical source of aryl groups among the different aryl boron reagents (74% of the molecular weight of triphenylboroxine corresponds to transferable phenyl groups versus 63% for phenylboronic acid and only 51% for dimethyl phenylboronate, the simplest phenylboronic ester).

33. 2O) toluene are kept as the only components under argon, the presence of nucleophilic species in the reaction media can be excluded.
34. A completely analogous pathway has been characterized for the reaction of phenylboronic acid (in the form of the corresponding bis(methylzinc)alkoxide) with EtZnMe. The overall activation energies for both pathways are essentially identical.
