Abstract

In a Cu/(NHC)-catalyzed SN2'-selective substitution reaction of allylic electrophiles with gem-diborylalkanes, differently substituted gem-diborylalkanes and allylic electrophiles can be employed, and various synthetic valuable functional groups are tolerated. The use of chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands enables an asymmetric version.
