Abstract

We report the successful generation of (diborylmethyl)zinc(II) species by transmetallation between isolable (diborylmethyl)lithium and zinc(II) halide (X = Br, Cl) and their application in the synthesis of enantioenriched gem-diborylalkanes bearing a stereogenic center at the β-position of the diboryl groups by an asymmetric allylic substitution reaction. The reaction has a broad substrate scope, and various enantioenriched gem-diborylalkanes can be obtained in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity. Further elaboration of the enantioenriched gem-diborylalkanes provides access to a diverse set of valuable chiral building blocks.
