A method for the synthesis of alpha-chiral allylboronates featuring the Cu(I)-catalyzed enantioselective substitution of readily available allylic carbonates with a diboron is described. Using this method, various alpha-chiral allylboronates, including functionalized allylboronates, were successfully synthesized, with high enantiomeric purity.

A novel and efficient approach to allyloxyamines by the allylation of nitrosoarenes with α-chiral allylboronates is described. C-O bond formation occurs with high stereospecificity and the product allyloxyamines are easily transformed into valuable chiral building blocks such as isoxazolidines and allylic alcohols. The reaction features complete regioselectivity (O-selectivity), high E/Z selectivity, and excellent chirality transfer.

Asymmetric reactions that transform racemic mixtures into enantio-enriched products are in high demand, but classical kinetic resolution produces enantiopure compounds in <50% yield even in an ideal case. Many deracemization processes have thus been developed including dynamic kinetic resolution and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation, which can provide enantio-enriched products even after complete conversion of the racemic starting materials. However, these dynamic processes require racemization or symmetrization of the substrates or intermediates.

This article describes the design and optimization of a catalytic enantioselective three-component hetero-[4+2] cycloaddition/allylboration reaction between 3-boronoacrolein, enol ethers, and aldehydes to afford alpha-hydroxyalkyl dihydropyrans. The key substrate, 3-boronoacrolein pinacolate (2) was found to be an exceptionally reactive heterodiene in the hetero-[4+2] cycloaddition catalyzed by Jacobsen's chiral Cr(III) catalyst 1. The scope and limitations of this process were thoroughly examined.
