Palladium-catalysed borylsilylation and borylstannylative dimerization of 1,2-dienes

Abstract

A borylsilane regioselectively adds to 1,2-dienes in the presence of palladium complexes to afford high yields of alkenylboranes having allylsilane moieties, whereas a borylstannane gives a 1 : 2 telomer with 3-methylbuta-1,2-diene due to borylstannylative dimerization.
