RT Journal Article T1 Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective Borylative Allyl–Allyl Coupling of Allenes and Allylic gem-Dichlorides A1 Piñeiro-Suárez, Martín A1 Álvarez-Constantino, Andrés M.

The method involves the coupling of a catalytically generated allyl copper species with the allylic gem-dichloride and provides chiral internal 1,5-dienes featuring (Z)-configured alkenyl boronate and alkenyl chloride units with high levels of chemo-, regio-, enantio-, and diastereoselectivity. The synthetic utility of the products is demonstrated with the synthesis of a range of optically active compounds. DFT calculations reveal key noncovalent substrate–ligand interactions that account for the enantioselectivity outcome and the diastereoselective formation of the (Z)-alkenyl chloride PB ACS SN 2155-5435 YR 2023 FD 2023-04-10 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/31152 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/31152 LA eng NO ACS Catalysis 2023 13 (8), 5578-5583 NO Financial support from the AEI (PID2020-118237RB-I00), European Research Council (863914), Xunta de Galicia (ED431C 2022/27; Centro singular de investigación de Galicia accreditation 2019-2022, ED431G 2019/03), and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is gratefully acknowledged.
