Abstract

Abstract: Chiral selectivities generally exceed 99% in the homologation of (+)-pinanediol alkylboronates (1) to (lS)-(1-chloroalky1) boronates (3) by reaction of 1 with (dichloromethy1) lithium at-100 OC followed by zinc chloride catalyzed rearrangement of the resulting borate complexes (2) at 0-25 OC. Diastereoselectivity falls to 95.7% with the methylboronate.(-)-Pinanediol leads to the 1R isomers. Nucleophilic displacements on (I- ...
