Org Lett. 2017 Dec 15;19(24):6590-6593. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.7b03296. Epub 2017 Nov 30.

Abstract

This communication describes an efficient palladium pincer complex-catalyzed allylic C-H borylation of alkenes. The transformation exhibits high regio- and stereoselectivity with a variety of linear alkenes. A synthetically useful feature of this allylic C-H borylation method is that all allyl-Bpin products can be isolated in usually high yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that this C-H borylation reaction proceeds via Pd(IV) pincer complex intermediates.
