A general method for the preparation of virtually any potassium trifluoroborate salt from the corresponding pinacolboronic ester is reported. Thus, conditions for an azeotropic removal of pinacol from the reaction mixture were found to afford the desired potassium trifluoroborates of sufficient purity (>95%) in nearly quantitative yields irrespective of the nature of the product. The utility of this
Vinyl boron ate complexes of enantioenriched secondary alkyl pinacolboronic esters undergo stereospecific radical-induced 1,2-migration in radical polar crossover reactions. In this three-component process various commercially available alkyl iodides act as radical precursors and light is used for chain initiation. Subsequent oxidation and protodeborylation leads to valuable α-chiral ketones and chiral
