The ruthenium catalytic addition of alkenes to alkynes has been demonstrated as a powerful synthetic tool to form diene motifs and widely applied in the synthesis of complex molecules. However, except for the intramolecular coupling, trisubstituted alkenes are unsatisfactory coupling partners with alkynes, presumably due to the increased steric hindrance. Herein, we discovered that substituted vinyl 1,2-bisboronate derivatives can serve as the trisubstituted alkene equivalents to couple with alkynes, generating various boryl-substituted homoallylic alcohol motifs with good stereoselectivity through the sequential allylboration with aldehydes. In contrast to carbon substituents on the double bond, boron substituents accelerate the alkyne coupling.

Stereo- and enantioselective syntheses of 1,2-oxaborinan-3-enes and δ-boryl-substituted homoallylic alcohols are reported. We developed a practical approach to synthesize α-boryl-substituted allylboronate. This reagent was utilized to generate α,α-disubstituted allylboronates, and such reagents cannot be accessed via the Pd-catalyzed alkene isomerization approach.

We report the highly diastereo- and enantioselective preparation of (E)-δ-boryl-substituted anti-homoallylic alcohols in two steps from terminal alkynes. This method consists of a cobalt(II)-catalyzed 1,1-diboration reaction of terminal alkynes with B pin and a palladium(I)-mediated asymmetric allylation reaction of the resulting 1,1-di(boryl)alk-1-enes with aldehydes in the presence of a chiral phosphoric acid. Propyne, which is produced as the byproduct during petroleum refining, could be used as the starting material to construct homoallylic alcohols that are otherwise difficult to synthesize with high stereocontrol.

Diastereoselective synthesis of γ-boryl substituted syn-β-alkoxy- or syn-β-amino-homoallylic alcohols is developed. Pt-catalyzed regioselective diboration of alkoxyallene or aminoallene with Bpin occurred at the terminal alkene unit of the allene to give ( Z)-γ-alkoxy- or ( Z)-γ-amino-β-boryl substituted allylboronates with high selectivities. Addition of the allylboronates to aldehydes followed by protection of the resulting secondary hydroxyl group gave TES-protected syn-1,2-diols and syn-1,2-amino alcohols with high diastereoselectivities.

Stereoselective synthesis of ()-α-boryl-crotylboronate is developed. Ni-catalyzed -selective alkene isomerization of α-boryl substituted homoallylboronate provided the targeted ()-crotylboronate with high selectivity. Stereoselective addition of the novel crotylboron reagent to aldehydes gave ()-δ-boryl-substituted -homoallylic alcohols with excellent diastereoselectivities.
