Diboration of 3-substituted propargylic alcohols using a bimetallic catalyst system: access to (Z)-allyl, vinyldiboronates†
Abstract
The diboration of substituted propargylic alcohols has been achieved using a bimetallic Pd/Cu catalyst system. The in situ formation of a pentrafluoroboronic acid intermediate sufficiently activates the C–O bond towards dual catalysis affording (Z)-allyl, vinyldiboronates stereoselectively.
