Abstract

An efficient synthetic method for preparing enantioenriched secondary borylalkanes has been achieved through a copper-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective hydroallylation of alkenyl boronates and boramides employing hydrosilanes and allylic phosphates. In the presence of a copper catalyst with a chiral Walphos ligand, a range of alkenylboron compounds with an aryl, heteroaryl, or alkyl substituent produced secondary homoallylic alkylboron compounds in good yields and with high enantioselectivities up to 99% ee. The utility of the resulting alkylboronates was demonstrated in an efficient synthesis of (S)-massoialactone.
