A practical and broadly applicable catalytic method for the synthesis of (E)-alkenylborons is presented. Reactions are promoted by [Pd(Cl)(η<sup>3</sup>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)]<sub>2</sub> and proceed by the dehydroboration of cyclic borates. Through the use of epoxides and readily available di-B(pin)-methane (pin = pinacolato), a range of allylic alcohol-containing alkenyl boronates, including those that contain a tertiary alcohol, may be prepared in up to 75% yield and >20:1 E/Z. ...[more]
