Chiral α-substituted allylboronic acids were synthesized by asymmetric homologation of alkenylboronic acids using CF/TMS-diazomethanes in the presence of BINOL catalyst and ethanol. The chiral α-substituted allylboronic acids were reacted with aldehydes or oxidized to alcohols in situ with a high degree of chirality transfer. The oxygen-sensitive allylboronic acids can be purified via their isolated diaminonaphthalene (DanH)-protected derivatives. The highly reactive purified allylboronic acids reacted in a self-catalyzed reaction at room temperature with ketones, imines, and indoles to give congested trifluoromethylated homoallylic alcohols/amines with up to three contiguous stereocenters.

All-carbon quaternary and tertiary stereocenters connected at the C2-position of functionalizable C3-alkylated indole nucleus are commonly occurring frameworks found in many indole alkaloids of medicinal importance. Their direct access is scarcely reported, a long-standing problem, and developing a unique yet simple method can pave the pathway to an entirely different retrosynthetic route for the total synthesis of these alkaloids. Herein, this problem is addressed by developing an unprecedented branch-selective allylation strategy employing a broad range of structurally and electronically different 3-alkenyl-indoles and allylboronic acids.

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.

A unique direct asymmetric synthesis of α-aminoimines is realized, through rapid and exclusive mono-allylation of chiral bis-N-sulfinylimines using allylboronic acids. The highly selective allylation was possible as electrophilic imine functional group in the product α-aminoimines remained unreactive towards allyl boronic acid nucleophiles. Notably, by varying the geometry and chiral auxiliary, all four isomers of the α-aminoimines were accessed from readily available precursors.

This approach boasts broad functional group tolerance, scalability, and relies on easily accessible allyl alcohol precursors. Importantly, the C3-position of the indole remains free, offering a handle for further synthetic refinement.

We report herein a new method for the synthesis of densely functionalized chiral allyl SCF , SCF R, SCN and SAr species with a separate CF functionality. The synthetic approach is based on selenium-catalyzed sulfenofunctionalization of chiral α-CF allylboronic acids. The reactions proceeded with remarkably high stereo-, diastereo- and site-selectivity, based on the formation of a stable thiiranium ion followed by rapid deborylative ring opening.
