A method for the regioselective arylboration of isoprene and its derivatives is presented. These reactions allow for the synthesis of useful building blocks from simple components. Through these studies, an unusual additive effect with DMAP has been uncovered that allows for altered reactivity and the formation of quaternary carbon centers. The utility of this method is demonstrated toward the formal synthesis of mesembrine. ...[more]
