Abstract

Chiral secondary allylboronates are obtained in high enantioselectivities by the copper-catalyzed 1,6-boration of electron-deficient dienes with B2(pin)2. The reactions proceed efficiently using catalyst loadings as low as 0.0049 mol%. The allylboronates may be oxidized to the allylic alcohols, and can be used in stereoselective aldehyde allylborations. This process was applied to a concise synthesis of atorvastatin.
