Unusual carbon-carbon bond formations between allylboronates and acetals or ketals catalyzed by a peculiar indium(I) lewis acid

InIOTf has been uncovered as an effective Lewis acid catalyst for unprecedented nucleophilic substitution of acetals or ketals with allylboronates. A transmetalative SN1 mechanism is proposed in which a single InI center acts as a dual catalyst to activate both reagents sequentially. Contrary to the classic γ-selectivity of allylsilanes (Hosomi-Sakurai reaction), this InI-catalyzed borono variant displays distinct α-selectivity. Substrate scope and functional group tolerance proved to be excellent.

Method for producing enol ethers

Enol ethers of the formula I where R1is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic radical which may carry further substituents which do not react with acetylenes or allenes, and the radicals R, independently of one another, are hydrogen or aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic radicals, which may be bonded to one another to form a ring, and m is 0 or 1, are prepared by reacting an acetal or ketal of the formula II with an acetylene or allene of the formula III or IV where R and R1have the abovementioned meanings, in the gas phase at elevated temperatures in the presence of a zinc- or cadmium- and silicon- and oxygen-containing heterogeneous catalyst.
