Abstract

A highly reactive nickel-catalyst system enables an in situ transposition of a homoallyl pinacol boronic ester to a Z-crotyl pinacol boronic ester, that reacts with various aldehydes to form syn-homoallylic alcohols in high diastereoselectivities. Also, the multiple transposition of pentenyl pinacol boronic ester was realized.
