Nickel-Catalysed Allylboration of Aldehydes

A nickel catalyst for the allylboration of aldehydes is reported, facilitating the preparation of homoallylic alcohols in high diastereoselectivity. The observed diastereoselectivities and NMR experiments suggest that allylation occurs through a well-defined six-membered transition state, with nickel acting as a Lewis acid.

Key words

allylboration - boronic esters - catalysis - homoallylic alcohols - nickel
