Abstract
A catalytic regio- and stereoselective 1,4-hydroboration with pinacolborane in the presence of Ni(cod)2 and PCy3 exhibits broad substrate scope operating on a range of substituted 1,3-dienes and occurs with generally high levels of selectivity and efficiency. The intermediate allylboronate can be oxidized to stereodefined allylic alcohols or can be used in stereoselective carbonyl addition reactions.
