Rhodium(I)-catalyzed 1,4-addition of aryl and alkenylboronic acids to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is well established, but the transfer of heteroaryl residues in this reaction remains underdeveloped. We have studied heteroaryl MIDA and pinacol boronates as alternatives to the labile boronic acid counterparts. Under racemic conditions, 12 adducts with heteroaryl residues, among them unsubstituted 3- and 4-pyridinyl, 2-furanyl, thienyl, and pyrrolyl groups, were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. The enantioselective version of the reaction proved highly sensitive to the electronic character of the heteroaryl substituents, with boronates carrying electron-rich residues giving modest to high yields but consistently high enantiomeric excesses.

An air- and water-stable CCC–NHC pincer Rh complex catalyzed the 1,4-addition of aryl boronic acids to α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes. This bench top method proceeds in eco-friendly solvents including methanol and water. The scope of boronic acids was expanded to include heterocyclic examples.
