Abstract
A copper-catalyzed γ-selective and stereospecific substitution reaction of allylic carbonates with bis(pinacolato)diboron afforded allylboron compounds. Functionalized allylboronates that have an acetal, ester, or isolated alkene were prepared. The reaction of optically active allylic carbonates underwent complete chirality transfer.
