Synthesis of oxo-2-alkenylboronates and their cyclization to 3-methylene cycloalkanols via intramolecular allylboration
Abstract
The cross-coupling reaction between halocarbonyl compounds with Knochel's (dialkoxyboryl)methylzinc reagent provided a new synthesis of oxoalk-2-enylboronates; the in situ cyclization of these boronates gave 3-methylene cyclopentanols or cycloheptanols in high yields.
