Abstract

Copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,6-borylation of 1,3-dienylphosphonates was achieved using ( S, S)-Ph-BPE as a chiral ligand. Regio-, stereo-, and enantioselective borylation successfully proceeded to afford phosphonate-containing allylboronates, with high enantioselectivity up to 97% ee. Further applications of the resulting products generated a valuable phosphonate analogue of γ-butyrolactone.
