RT Journal Article T1 Cyclopropylmethyl Boronic Esters as General Reagents in Transition-Metal Catalyzed Homoallylation Reactions A1 Lozano, Blanca A1 Teresa, Javier A1 Fernández López, Israel A1 Tortosa, Mariola AB Herein we disclose the use of cyclopropylmethyl boronates as general reagents in Negishi-type homoallylation reactions. This strategy provides a novel approach to generate enantioenriched homoallyl-Zn species through boron-to-zinc transmetalation. Subsequent sp2–sp3 cross-coupling offers a platform for the preparation of arenes, ketones, and 1,5-dienes containing a chiral homoallylic scaffold. The method has been applied to the late-stage functionalization of known drugs and the preparation of precursors of biologically relevant compounds. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations provide insight into the transmetalation/ring-opening sequence.
