The insertion of lithiated epoxides into boronic esters followed by thermal syn-elimination provides a stereospecific entry to alkenes. This process avoids transition metals and is amenable to iteration to provide higher substitution patterns.

Ring cleavage was the main route in the Zn reduction of 1 in neat AcOH, while selective carbonyl reduction predominated in the presence of LiCl. The less strained 2 underwent only carbonyl reduction with Zn/AcOH. The Clemmensen reduction of both 1 and 2 resulted mainly in acyclic products. The unstrained 3 was fairly resistant towards reduction, and did not undergo ring cleavage.
