Rhodium-catalyzed deoxygenations and borylations of ketones with B2pin2
provide alkenes, vinylboronates, and vinyldiboronates. These reactions offer
mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and excellent
functional-group compatibility. Mechanistic studies support that the ketones
initially undergo a Rh-catalyzed deoxygenation to give alkenes via boron enolate
intermediates.
