Cyclic and open-chain trisubstituted olefins were hydroborated with (-)-Ipc
BH(2) and stereoselectively transmetalated to the corresponding chiral zinc
reagents with excellent diastereoselectivity and good enantioselectivity.
The palladium(0) catalyzed cross-coupling with alkenyl iodides or acyl chlo
rides proceeds with high retention of configuration in satisfactory overall
yields. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
