The areas of carbonyl borylation and the homologation of carbon-boron bonds have provided a number of fruitful methods in organic synthesis. Combining these approaches, the homologation of α-oxyboronate esters, provides pathways to access complex organoboronate esters stereoselectively. To this end, the homologation of α-silyloxyboronate esters with lithiated allyl chlorides to form β-silyloxy allylboronate esters is reported. Direct oxidation of the homologation products provides β-silyloxy allyl alcohols in good yield. The homologation provides a range of allylic alcohols, albeit with low diastereoselectivity.

The catalytic asymmetric allylation reaction involving allylboron species has emerged as a powerful tool to access highly stereoselective allylation products. In the early years, most of the researches focused on the reaction of unsubstituted allylboronates with ketones or imines. With the synthesis of complex substituted allylboronates, allylboronic acids and allyltrifluoroborates, the type of reactions and the variety of substrates are greatly expanded.

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.

A novel method for the two-step synthesis of α-boryl-α-substituted allylboronates from propyne is described. These allylboronates are prepared by the Co-catalyzed 1,1-diboration reaction of propyne with Bpin, followed by the base-mediated alkylation reaction of 1,1-di(boryl)propene at the α-position. Computational studies revealed the origins of observed reactivity and selectivity in the base-mediated alkylation reaction.

Allylboration of Ketones Catalyzed by BINOL Derivatives: Which Species Are Involved Depending on Substrate Reactivity?

Allylboration reactions of ketones catalyzed by BINOL derivatives can exhibit highly variable stereochemical courses depending on the nature and reactivity of the ketone substrate. In this Article, we put into perspective the relationship between the nature of the starting material and the active species involved in the asymmetric allyboration catalyzed by BINOL derivatives. This work, aimed at comparing different plausible mechanisms by density functional theory (DFT) at the M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) level involving different types of allylboronates in the presence of the organocatalyst, leads to the confirmation of the hitherto accepted hypothesis of a reaction promoted by the transient cyclic allyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane derived from BINOLs in the case of unactivated or weakly activated ketones such as indanone.
