Corroles are 18-π-aromatic tetrapyrrolic macrocycles that contain a direct pyrrole–pyrrole linkage, that exhibit interesting optical properties and unique metal-coordination chemistry, and serve as excellent ligands for oxidation catalysis.[1] Although covalently linked multiporphyrinic molecules have received much attention from the viewpoint of the development of novel functional materials and molecular devices,[2] the synthesis of molecular assemblies based on corroles has remained rather limited owing to the lack of effective synthetic strategies for their regioselective modification.[3] Thus, considerable efforts have been made to develop selective methods that allow the effective functionalization of corroles. However, electrophilic substitution of corroles can occur at the C3 position, and multisubstitution products are sometimes formed.[4] To the best of our knowledge, the selective derivatization of corroles at the C2 position has not been reported. Very recently, we reported the highly regioselective direct borylation of porphyrins at the β position under iridium catalysis.[5, 6] Herein, we disclose the successful application of this strategy to 5, 10, 15-triarylcorroles which enables easy functionalization of the corrole structure at the 2-position with perfect regioselectivity. Owing to the rich chemistry of organoboranes, this strategy offers a powerful tool for the construction of corrole-based molecular assemblies.A solution of 5, 10, 15-tris (pentafluorophenyl) corrole (1)[7] in dioxane was heated at 1008C for 24 h with bis (pinacolato) diborane (1.1 equiv) in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Ir (cod) OMe] 2 (1.5 mol%) and 4, 4’-di-tert-butyl-2, 2’-bipyridyl (dtbpy; 3.0 mol%) according to the Miyaura–Hartwig–Smith protocol (Scheme 1).[5, 6b] Purification by preparative GPC-HPLC afforded the monoborylated corrole 2 in 91%
