Abstract
1-Alkenylboronic acid pinacol esters have been synthesized via a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of bis(pinacolato)diboron with 1-alkenyl halides or triflates in toluene at 50°C in the presence of KOPh in high yields with complete retention of configuration of the double bonds. A one-pot synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,3-dienes via the borylation-coupling sequence has been developed.

Details
The study presents a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of bis(pinacolato)diboron with 1-alkenyl halides or triflates to synthesize 1-alkenylboronic acid pinacol esters. Conducted in toluene at 50 °C with KOPh and PdCl2(PPh3)2-2Ph3P, the reaction achieves high yields with complete retention of double bond configuration. This method overcomes limitations of traditional hydroboration and transmetalation techniques, offering a one-pot synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,3-dienes via a borylation-coupling sequence. The process tolerates various functional groups and provides a versatile route for synthesizing 1-alkenylboronates, which are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis. The study demonstrates the method's utility through the synthesis of diverse 1,3-dienes, highlighting its efficiency and selectivity. The reaction conditions, including the use of KOPh and toluene, are optimized to suppress byproduct formation and enhance yields. This approach offers a practical and efficient alternative for preparing 1-alkenylboronates and 1,3-dienes, expanding the toolkit for synthetic organic chemists.
