Benzylic boronic esters are attractive building blocks for complex biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals as they participate in several well-established stereospecific transformations that forge C, C N, or C C bonds. Accordingly, there has been significant interest in developing new enantioselective methods thatt afford these motifs. Examples of catalytic ti enantioselective hydroboration, allylic borylation, conjugate borylation, reductive transformations of vinyl boronates and 1,2-diborylation of aromatic imines and styrenes have been reported. Furthermore, several enantioselective borylation reactions utilizing stoichiometric amounts of chiral auxiliaries have been disclosed. 21
Recently, several methods have been reported that rely on transformations of 1,1-diborylated alkanes. For example, Hall and Yun have reported the preparation of enantioenriched 1,1-diborylated alkanes that undergo chemoselective coupling to provide highly enantioenriched benzylic organoboronates. In a related contribution, Morken and co-workers have disclosed an enantioselective Suzuki reaction of 1,1-diboronates to provide highly enriched boronic esters. While these methods ultimately access valuable enantioenriched benzylic boronates, they require a multistep synthetic sequence. From the perspective of synthetic divergence and stepeconomy, an ideal transformation would involve one-step installation of both the boronate and aryl functional groups. 22
In conclusion, we have disclosed a modular and step-economical economical method for the direct preparation of chiral benzylic boronates from terminal alkenes. Furthermore, this process was rendered enantioselective through the use of a chiral anion phase-transfer strategy. We expect the coupling of CAPT and Pd catalysis to have broad implications, as it provides an alternative strategy for achieving enantioinduction in ligand-less reaction manifolds where chiral ancillary ligands have a deleterious effect. 23
