Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed alkyl C-H borylation with bromide as a traceless directing group is described, providing a convenient approach to access alkyl boronates bearing a β-all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. The protocol features a broad substrate scope, excellent site selectivity, and good functional group tolerance.
