TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vinyl boronic ester ate complexes, prepared by combining organoboronates and organolithium reagents, engage in palladium-induced metallate rearrangement wherein 1,2-migration of an alkyl or aryl group from boron to the vinyl α-carbon occurs concomitantly with C–Pd σ-bond formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Vinyl Boronates from Aldehydes by a Practical Boron–Wittig Reaction
TL;DR: A highly stereoselective boron-Wittig reaction between stable and readily accessible 1,1-bis(pinacolboronates) and aldehydes furnishes a variety of synthetically useful di- and trisubstituted vinyl bor onate esters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantiomerically enriched tris(boronates): readily accessible conjunctive reagents for asymmetric synthesis.
TL;DR: The catalytic enantioselective diboration of vinyl boronate esters furnishes chiral tris(boronates) in a selective fashion and subsequent deborylative alkylation occurs in a diastereoselectives fashion, both for intermolecular and intramolecular processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxyl-directed stereoselective diboration of alkenes.
TL;DR: An alkoxide-catalyzed directed diboration of alkenyl alcohols is described, which generates 1,2-diols such that the process represents a method for the stereoselective directed dihydroxylation ofAlkenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diastereoselective and Enantioselective Conjunctive Cross-Coupling Enabled by Boron Ligand Design.
TL;DR: Enantio- and diastereoselective conjunctive cross-coupling of β-substituted alkenylboron "ate" complexes is studied, finding use of a boronic ester ligand derived from acenaphthoquinone allows the process to favor the conj unctive product, even with substituted substrates.
