SYNTHESIS OF PINACOL ESTERS OF 2,3-ALKADIENYLBORONIC ACID VIA THE COPPER(I) MEDIATED COUPLING REACTION OF KNOCHELS (DIALKOXYBORYL) METHYLZINC REAGENTS WITH PROPARGYLIC TOSYLATES
I. Gridnev et al., SYNTHESIS OF PINACOL ESTERS OF 2,3-ALKADIENYLBORONIC ACID VIA THE COPPER(I) MEDIATED COUPLING REACTION OF KNOCHELS (DIALKOXYBORYL) METHYLZINC REAGENTS WITH PROPARGYLIC TOSYLATES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 481(1), 1994, pp. 30000004-30000007
The reaction of propargyl tosylates (1) with (dialkoxyboryl)methyl-cop
per(I) reagents, prepared in situ from Knochel's (dialkoxyboryl)-methy
lzinc iodide (2) and CuCN.2LiCl, produced 2,3-alkadienyl-boronates (3)
in moderate yields. The reaction proceeded regioselectively to provid
e an S(N)2' substitution product without contamination by other produc
ts such as 3-alkynylboronate.
