Enantioenriched secondary allylic carbamates have been deprotonated with sBuLi and reacted with boronic esters. In contrast to other electrophiles, high α-selectivity was observed and the boronate complexes were formed with almost complete retention of stereochemistry. The boronate complexes underwent a stereospecific 1,2-migration leading to tertiary allylic boronic esters with high er (>98:2). The scope of the reaction has been explored and found to embrace a broad range of both allylic carbamates and boronic esters. The methodology has been applied to an eight-step, stereoselective synthesis of each of the diastereoisomers of C30 botryococcene.
