Wenhao Xu, Purui Zheng, Jun Zhou, Zihao Hu, Tao Xu
Abstract
Secondary α,α-dialkyl boronates are widely used due to their great versatility. Herein we report an unprecedented deoxygenative alkylboration of aldehydes, a facile method to access this type of products. A sequence of difunctionalization can be obtained smoothly from the readily available aldehydes in only two steps. This difunctionalization of aldehydes rather than conventional alkenes also opens new possibilities within the field.
