Electrochemical Borylation of Electron‐Deficient Alkenes and Allenoates
Maude Aelterman, Philippe Jubault, Thomas Poisson
Abstract
Abstract The electrochemical borylation of electro‐deficient alkenes and allenoates is disclosed. In an undivided cell and under galvanostatic conditions a panel of Michael acceptor and allenoates was readily reacted. The reaction offered an access to versatile borylated building blocks in good to excellent yields (20 examples, 47 % to 91 % yields). A plausible reaction mechanism, based on the literature precedent was suggested.
