Abstract

A Pd-catalyzed, stereospecific cross-coupling of unactivated secondary alkylboron nucleophiles and aryl chlorides occurs without significant isomerization of the alkyl nucelophile. Optically active secondary alkyltrifluoroborate reagents undergo cross-coupling reactions with stereospecific inversion of configuration.
