Samarium Diiodide/Samarium‐Mediated Deoxygenative Hydroborylation of Aldehydes
Chengwei Liu, Yilin Ma, Wei Zhou
Abstract
Abstract A samarium diiodide/samarium‐mediated direct deoxygenative hydroborylation of aldehydes with hydroborate ester has been reported. In this method, unactivated aldehydes and hydroborate ester have been employed as starting materials for the synthesis of primary alkyl borate esters. Broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance have demonstrated that this is a robust method for deoxygenative hydroborylation of aldehydes.
