Asymmetric Synthesis of Tertiary and Secondary Cyclopropyl Boronates via Cyclopropanation of Enantioenriched Alkenyl Boronic Esters. 2022
The cyclopropanation of alkenyl boronates and subsequent derivatization of the boronate handle are a convenient strategy to quickly build molecular complexity and access diverse compounds with a high sp3 fraction. Herein, we describe the asymmetric cyclopropanation of enantioenriched hydrobenzoin-derived alkenyl boronic esters toward the synthesis of tertiary and secondary cyclopropyl boronates.
