Abstract
Chiral boronic esters are highly valuable building blocks in organic chemistry and related fields, allowing access to structurally diverse libraries, including those of drug candidates. Herein, stereoselective cross couplings of α‐iodoboronic esters with various commercial electrophiles are reported. These stereoconvergent coupling reactions proceed via iodine‐metal exchange and subsequent stereoselective capture of the generated α‐boryl organometallic species without the use of a transition metal catalyst. The presented reactions allow the α‐silylation, α‐borylation, and α‐methylborylation of boronic esters using a common chiral auxiliary.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis (ASC) is the leading primary journal in organic, organometallic, and applied chemistry.
The high impact of ASC can be attributed to the unique focus of the journal, which publishes exciting new results from academic and industrial labs on efficient, practical, and environmentally friendly organic synthesis. While homogeneous, heterogeneous, organic, and enzyme catalysis are key technologies to achieve green synthesis, significant contributions to the same goal by synthesis design, reaction techniques, flow chemistry, and continuous processing, multiphase catalysis, green solvents, catalyst immobilization, and recycling, separation science, and process development are also featured in ASC. The Aims and Scope can be found in the Notice to Authors or on the first page of the table of contents in every issue.
