Abstrakt: The installation of the C-halogen bond at the ortho position of N -aryl amides and ureas represents a tool to prepare motifs that are ubiquitous in biologically active compounds. To construct such prevalent bonds, most methods require the use of precious metals and a multistep process. Here we report a novel protocol for the long-standing challenge of regioselective ortho halogenation of N -aryl amides and ureas using an oxidative halodeboronation. By harnessing the reactivity of boron over nitrogen, we merge carbonyl-directed borylation with consecutive halodeboronation, enabling the precise introduction of the C-X bond at the desired ortho position of N -aryl amides and ureas. This method offers an efficient, practical, and scalable solution for synthesizing halogenated N -heteroarenes under mild conditions, highlighting the superiority of boron reactivity in directing the regioselectivity of the reaction.
