Abstract
A stereospecific and stereoselective, copper-promoted coupling of vinyl pinacol boronate esters and alcohols allows the synthesis of enol ethers in very good yields, is compatible with various functional groups, and occurs at room temperature. Cupric acetate is the copper source, and triethylamine buffer is used to prevent protodeboration.
