Here we report the <i>in situ</i> generation of transient allylic boronic species, by reacting TMSCHN<sub>2</sub> and <i>E</i>-vinyl boronic acids, followed by their subsequent trapping with aldehydes as electrophiles to yield homoallylic alcohols. This metal-free reaction was initially discovered by the use of a flow chemistry approach to generate a variety of homoallylic alcohols in a straightforward fashion and then transferred to a batch protocol. ...[more]
