The in situ generation and use of iodomethyllithium for the one-carbon homologation of boronic esters and epoxide formation from carbonyl compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508010798

Iodomethyllithium is shown to be an effective reagent for the one-carbon homologation of oxygenated boronic esters. The use of iodomethyllithium for the preparation of pinacol iodomethaneboronate and for the synthesis of epoxides from carbonyl compounds is also discussed.
