A nonenzymatic kinetic resolution of tertiary homoallyl alcohols has been developed through a rhodium-catalyzed retro-allylation reaction under simple conditions. Selectivity factors of up to 12 have been achieved by employing (R)-H8-binap as the Iigand, and the reaction can be conducted on a preparative scale.

The simple and efficient syntheses of B-allyl-10-(phenyl)-9-borabicyclo[3.3.2]decane (1) in both enantiomeric forms are reported. The remarkable enantioselectivity (81-99% ee) of these reagents in the allylboration process at -78 °C is only modestly diminished when the process is conducted at 0 °C, a phenomenon attributable to its rigid bicyclic structure. In addition to providing the homoallylic alcohols 6 efficiently (70-92%), the procedure also permits the efficient recovery of the chiral boron moiety (67-82%) as an air-stable crystalline N-methylpseudoephedrine complex 4 for the direct regeneration of 1 with allylmagnesium bromide in ether (98%). The reagent gives predictable stereochemistry, providing a strategically designed "chiral pocket" which is particularly receptive to leading methyl groups (e.g., methyl ethyl ketone, 87% ee).
