Resum:
Palladium catalyzes the cydclopropanation of 2-substituted 1,1-diborylalkenes with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane. The relative stereoselectivity is controlled via a carbene insertion sequence generating an exclusive anti conformation between the R and SiMe3 substituents. Mixed 1,1-diborylalkenes also contributed to the formation of stereoselective B, B, Si-cyclopropanes. Orthogonal activation with (NaOBu)-Bu-t gives protodeborylation preferentially on the boron moiety syn to the aryl group. Further oxidation gives access to polyfunctional cycloopropyl alcohols with controlled enantioselectivity when chiral boryl motifs are involved.
