Enantiospecific Synthesis of 1,3-Disubstituted Allenes from Propargylic Carbonates through a Borylation-1,2-Elimination Process

Abstract

An array of enantioenriched vinyl boronates bearing an allylic carbonate moiety have been prepared through selective hydroboration of propargyl carbonates. Treatment of these vinyl boronates with TBAF in THF affords enantioenriched 1,3- disubstituted allenes through a novel 1,2-anti elimination in good yields and high enantiospecificitiesWe thank MINECO (CTQ2016-78779-R) and MICINN (PID2019-107380GB I00) for financial suppor
