Au Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Silaboration of Aryl-Substituted Cyclopropyl Aldehydes Forming Rearranged β-Boronate Silyl Enol Ethers

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/ejoc.201901408

2-Aryl-substituted cyclopropyl aldehydes undergo an unprecedented Au nanoparticle-catalyzed silaboration leading to rearranged linear β-boronate-bearing silyl enol ethers. Formation of these products is attributed to the ring opening radical clock rearran
