Abstract
Heteroatomic groups in alkenes typically direct thermodynamically favored chain walking of C═C bonds toward themselves, thereby facilitating C-H bond functionalization near the heteroatoms. We present herein an efficient cobalt-catalyzed contra-thermodynamic remote hydroboration of alkenylboronates with pinacolborane to synthesize chiral 1,n-diboronates. This protocol features a broad substrate scope, high functional group tolerance, and excellent enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate the involvement of a chain-walking process. Gram-scale reactions and various product derivatizations further highlight its practicality.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
