Abstract

Sustainable, efficient, selective: A three-component, single-vessel Cu-catalyzed method for chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselective conversion of B2(pin)2, monosubstituted allenes, and aldehydes or ketones to 2-B(pin)-substituted homoallylic alkoxides is described. Subsequent functionalization delivers valuable products in up to >98:2 d.r. and 97:3 e.r. (see scheme).
