Synergistic Pd/Cu-catalysed regio- and stereoselective borylation of allenylic carbonates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Jan 20;58(7):1037-1040. doi: 10.1039/d1cc05854a.

Abstract

A simple Pd/Cu-catalyzed borylation of allenylic carbonates with B2Pin2 was developed using a cheap P(OEt)3 ligand. Under mild neutral conditions, 2-boryl 1,3-butadienes were obtained selectively in moderate to high yields. Furthermore, the use of different diboron reagents was also feasible in the reaction.
