catalyzed 1, 4-diboration of dienylboronate provided the targeted crotylboronate in good
yield with high regio-and stereoselectivity. Chemo-and stereoselective addition of this
crotylboron reagent to aldehydes followed by protection of the resulting secondary hydroxyl
group gave TES-protected homoallylic alcohols bearing an alkyl and a vinyl boronate
groups with high stereoselectivities.
