Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Directed syn-1,2-Carboboration and -Silylation: Alkene Scope, Applications in Dearomatization, and Stereocontrol by a Chiral Auxiliary.

We report the development of palladium(0)-catalyzed syn-selective 1,2-carboboration and -silylation reactions of alkenes containing cleavable directing groups. With B₂ pin₂ or PhMe₂ Si-Bpin as nucleophiles and aryl/alkenyl triflates as electrophiles, a broad range of... View More
