A Cu-catalyzed protocol for conversion of terminal alkynes to enantiomerically enriched diboronates is reported. In a single vessel, a site-selective hydroboration of an alkyne leads to the corresponding terminal vinylboronate, which undergoes a second site-selective and enantioselective hydroboration. Reactions proceed in the presence of 2 equiv of commercially available bis(pinacolato)diboron [B-2(pin)(2)] and 5-7.5 mol % loading of a chiral bidentate imidazolinium salt, affording diboronates in 60-93% yield and up to 97.5:2.5 enantiomeric ratio (er). The enantiomerically enriched products can be functionalized to afford an assortment of versatile organic molecules. Enynes are converted to unsaturated diboronates with high chemo- (>98% reaction of alkyne; <2% at alkene) and enantioselectivity (e.g., 94.5:5.5 er).

Vinylboronic esters derived from 4,4,6-trimethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborinane react with nitrones in the presence of dimethylzinc; nucleophilic addition of the vinyl group onto nitrones produces N-allylic hydroxylamines in fair yields. The sequence is compatible with various functional groups on the vinylic moiety. The mechanism and kinetic aspects are discussed on the basis of DFT calculations. (C) 2010 Elsevier B. V.
