A SIMPLE PROCEDURE FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF THREE-CARBON HOMOLOGATED BORONATE ESTERS AND TERMINAL ALKENES VIA NUCLEOPHILIC DISPLACEMENT IN α-HALOALLYLBORONATE ESTER

The transfer reactions of α-haloallylboronate ester 1 with representative organolithium and Grignard reagents provide α-alkyl- or α-aryl-substituted allylboronate esters, readily converted into three-carbon homologated boronate esters and terminal alkenes.
