Selective synthesis of boron-substituted enynes via a one-pot diboration/protodeboration sequence

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Aug 1;59(62):9541-9544. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02695g.

Abstract

An efficient and facile one-pot protocol to access enynylboronates via a Pt-catalyzed diboration/protodeboration strategy has been developed. The reaction is suitable for various silylsubstituted symmetrical and unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes, leading to π-conjugated organoboron compounds with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity.
