The reaction of β-functionalized allylboronate 1 derived from endo-2-phenyl-exo-2,3-bornanediol with imines affords homoallylic amines and α-methylene-γ-lactams in good yields and high enantioselectivity (ee ≥94%). A mechanism of the carbalkoxyallylboration reaction is proposed to explain the excellent asymmetric induction.
