explore Lewis acid promoted allylborations of enantioenriched R-substituted allylboronates.
We found and report herein that (E)-δ-methyl-homoallylic alcohols 2 are obtained in good
yields and excellent enantioselectivities from BF3·Et2O-promoted allylboration reactions of
1.In addition, we have found that δ-chloro-substituted homoallylic alcohols 14 can also be
obtained in good yield and 3-6:1 (… We were intrigued by the possibility that …
