Ir-catalyzed direct borylation at the 4-position of pyrene.

The first direct borylation of a C-H bond at the 4-position of pyrene was achieved using [Ir(COD)Cl](2)/dtbpy as the catalyst precursor and B(2)pin(2) as the boron source. The position-related photophysical properties of pyrene derivatives are reported.
