Significance
An example of a highly E-selective allylboration of α-substituted allylboronates is presented. This work is closely related to an earlier report by D. G. Hall (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 3070) wherein allylboration of α-methylene TMS substituted substrates was explored. This work is noteworthy since earlier reports of similar reactions give low selectivity for α-methylated boronates. Notably, even α-chloroallylboronate gives the E-product under the reported conditions; contrary to earlier observations. As commonly seen in these reactions, the chirality transfer from allylboronates to the alcohol is excellent.
