Abstract

Hydroboration of alkynes is a practical route for the syntheses of 1-alkenylboron compounds which are a versatile reagent for organic synthesis. 1, 2 Although much attention has been recently focused on the metal-catalyzed hydroboration with catecholborane (1a) or pinacolborane (1b), both the uncatalyzed1, 3 and the catalyzed reactions4, 5 yield (E)-1- alkenylboronates through the anti-Markovnikov and syn-addition of borane to terminal ...
