Abstract

Sir: The deprotonation of gem-diboronic esters' and the chemistry of (phenylthio) methylIithiu~ n~~~ suggested the preparation of pinacol (pheny1thio) methaneboronate (la) and its deprotonation by lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) to the carbanion 2a. This route to boron substituted carbanions is significantly easier and cheaper than those found previousand derivatives of 2a show promise of versatile and useful synthetic chemistry. ...
