catalytic reaction, further investigations are needed to perform.
4.1.1. General procedure
ꢀ
A glass reactor (50 mL), under a dry argon atmosphere at 0 С,
was charged under stirring with Cp
nesium (powder) (20 mmol, 0.486 g), THF (30 mL), the corre-
sponding cyclic olefin (10 mmol) and EtBCl (or n-PentBCl
12 mmol). EtBCl was synthesized according to the methods as
described in Ref. [11]. n-PentBCl was synthesized according to the

In summary, we have elaborated the original one-pot
(

method for producing boronic esters, namely dicyclohepty-
lalkylboronates, dicyclooctylalkylboronates, and dibicyclo[2.2.1]
hept-2-ylalkylboronates, with yields from good to excellent
2
method as described in Ref. [12]. The temperature was raised to
ꢀ
5
0 С and the mixture was stirred 5 h. Then reaction mixture was
(
86e96%) via the reaction of cyclic olefins such as cycloheptene, cis-
cyclooctene and norbornene with RBCl
(R ¼ Et, n-Pent) in the
presence of the Cp TiCl catalyst with subsequent addition of water.
The Ti-catalyzed reaction between cyclic olefins and RBCl has
ꢀ
cooled to room temperature (~22e25 C) and was stirred for
additional 16 h. Then to a reaction mixture water (2 mL) was added
and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. The organic layer was sepa-
rated, the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether

certain limitations associated with the ring size of cyclic olefins.
Yields of dicyclododecylalkylboronates derived from dodecene did
not exceed 52%. Cyclic olefins with small rings (e.g. cyclohexene) do
not give boronic esters at all.
(
2 ꢁ 10 mL), extracts were combined with the organic phase. The
solvent was evaporated and the residue was distilled under
reduced pressure.
