We report herein a photoinduced carboborative ring contraction of monounsaturated six-membered carbocycles and heterocycles. The reaction produces substituted five-membered ring systems stereoselectively and on preparative scales. The products feature multiple stereocenters, including contiguous quaternary carbons. We show that the reaction can serve as a synthetic platform for ring system alteration of natural products. The reaction can also be used in natural product synthesis. A concise total ...[more]
