Abstract

Treatment of alkenyl carbamates with sodium dispersion and a co-existing boron electrophile affords alkenylboronates via the reductive cleavage of the vinylic C–O bond. The key to this borylation is an instant trapping of reactive organosodium species with the co-existing boron electrophile.
