The direct borylation of disubstituted alkenes is reported. These conditions allow for the conversion of a variety 1,1- and 1,2-disubstituted alkenes to trisubstituted alkenyl boronic esters with outstanding yields and excellent E/ Z selectivities. The utility of this reaction has been demonstrated with several downstream functionalization reactions, which allow access to diverse, stereodefined, functionalized olefins. Mechanistic studies are consistent with a boryl-Heck pathway. ...[more]
