Abstract

A 2-diethanolamine boronyl substituted 1,3-diene has been synthesized in high yield and characterized spectroscopically as well as by X-ray crystallography. This diene has then subsequently been used in a number of fast, high yielding Diels-Alder/cross coupling reactions.

Keywords: Diels–Alder; cross coupling; organoboron.
