Org Lett. 2017 Feb 17;19(4):854-857. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.6b03860. Epub 2017 Feb 8.

Abstract

IPrCuCl catalyzes the CO2 insertion reaction undergone by a dialkylvinylborane intermediate derived from alkynyltrialkylborate by a 1,2-alkyl group migration to afford α-alkyl acrylic acids with excellent regio- and stereoselectivities.
