Abstract
A solvent- and metal-free process for the direct methallylboration of ketones with a stable B-methallylborinane is accelerated by tertiary alcohols. In the presence of 2.0 equiv of tert-amyl alcohol, the methallylation products were prepared at room temperature in excellent yields. The process offers simple operation, high efficiency, and mild reaction conditions.
