The utility of the stepwise, double-coupling procedure is demonstrated in the parallel synthesis of Tamoxifen derivatives on solid support [127] (Scheme 1-29). 1-Alkenylboronates thus obtained by a diboration-cross coupling sequence are further coupled with p-silyUodobenzene supported on polymer resin. Using this strategy, each position about the ethylene core is modified by the appropriate choice of alkyne, aryl halide, and cleavage conditions for the synthesis of a library of Tamoxifen derivatives. 

The synthesis of 1-alkenylboronic acids from l-alkenylmagnesiums or -lithiums suffers from difficulty in retaining the stereochemistry of 1-aikenyl halides, but the palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of diboron 82 with 1-aikenyl halides or tri-flates directly provides 1-alkenylboronic esters (Scheme 1-43) [157, 158]. Although the reaction conditions applied to the aryl coupling resulted in the formation of an... 

Rhodium(i) complexes are excellent catalysts for the 1,4-addition of aryl- or 1-alkenylboron, -silicon, and -tin compounds to a,/3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. In contrast, there are few reports on the palladium(n) complex-catalyzed 1,4-addition to enones126,126a for the easy formation of C-bound enolate, which will result in /3-hydride elimination product of Heck reaction. Previously, Cacchi et al. described the palladium(n)-catalyzed Michael addition of ArHgCl or SnAr4 to enones in acidic water.127 Recently, Miyaura and co-workers reported the 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids and boroxines to a,/3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. A cationic palladium(n) complex [Pd(dppe)(PhCN)2](SbF6)2 was found to be an excellent catalyst for this reaction (dppe = l,2-bis(diphenyl-phosphine)ethane Scheme 42).128... 

Not only arylboronic acids but also 1-alkenylboronic acids or esters add to aldehydes to give the corresponding allylic alcohols (Equation (39)).395 Isomerization of the allylic alcohols to saturated ketones occurs in less protic media and at higher temperatures. 

As an example of the selective reactivity of borazirconocene alkenes, their hydrolysis was examined [1]. The carbon—zirconium bond is more reactive than the carbon—boron bond towards various electrophiles, and so hydrolysis can be expected to occur with preferential cleavage of the former bond. Since hydrolysis of alkenylzirconocenes is known to proceed with retention of configuration [4,127—129], a direct utility of 45 is the preparation of (Z)-1-alkenylboronates 57 (Scheme 7.17) [12]. Though the gem-dimetalloalkenes can be isolated, in the present case it is not necessary. The desired (Z)-l-alkenylboronates can be obtained in a one-pot procedure by hydrozirconation followed by hydrolysis with excess H20. The reaction sequence is operationally simple and is compatible with various functional groups such as halides, acetals, silanes, and silyloxy protecting groups [12].

Alkenylzirconium compounds 34 obtained by the hydrometallation of alkynes were transformed to 1-alkenylboron compounds via transmetallation with B-halo-9-BBN or B-chlorocatecholborane62,63 (Scheme 5). Mercuration followed by transmetallation to BH3 was advantageous over the lithiation route in the synthesis of indole-3-boronic acid 35.64... 

Alkenylboronic acids and esters have been prepared by thermal or catalyzed hydroboration of 1-alkynes with catecholborane (HBcat), pinacolborane (HBpin), or dihaloboranes 41-43, followed by hydrolysis to boronic acids or alcoholysis to boronic esters. A convenient alternative to improve chemo- and regioselectivity is the hydroboration of alkynes with dialkylboranes. For selective removal of dummy groups, the oxidation of two cyclohexyl groups was conduced by treatment of l-alkenyl(dicyclohexyl)borane intermediates with Me3N-0 (Equation (7)).116 The...

The stannylboration of alkynes was followed by cross-coupling of the G-Sn bond in the synthesis of stereodefined 1-alkenylboron compounds 143 (Equation (48)).261 There was a large accelerating effect of boryl substituents on thermal ring closing to the methylene cyclobutenes at 140 °G. 

Selected 1-alkenylboronates synthesized by Equation (56) are shown in Scheme 17. The reaction afforded cyclic and acyclic vinylboronic esters possessing various functional groups, which are not available by conventional hydro-boration of alkynes or by a transmetallation method, for example 160-167. 

The methods for stereocontrolled synthesis of cyclopropylboronic esters have been studied (Scheme 29). The palladium-catalyzed reaction of diazoalkanes (method A), Simmons-Smith reaction (method B), or asymmetric Simmons-Smith reaction using chiral diamines such as 270 (method C) for chiral or achiral 1-alkenylboronic esters... 

The radical addition to 1-alkenyl or 1-alkynylboronic esters or amides took place extremely smoothly because the boron atom stabilizes the resulting ct-radical intermediates. Bu3SnH and PhSH predominated the trans-addition products 287 in the addition to 1-alkynylboronic amides at 90 °G, whereas Bu3SnH and Ph2Ph produced the m-addition products 288 at 0°C (>98% Equation (82)).455 Intramolecular addition to 1-alkenylboronic esters has been demonstrated in boron-tethered radical cyclization that provided 1,3- or 1,4-alkanediols 290 via oxidative workup (Equation (83)).456 Inter- and intramolecular additions of alkyl radical457 and sulfonyl radical458 have also been studied. 

The boron-Wittig reaction has been carried out by bis(boryl)methyllithium 309 generated in situ from tris(boryl)-methane 308 (Equation (91 )).469 The geminal dichromium reagent 3 12470 was found to be an excellent alternative yielding 1-alkenylboronic esters 313470-472 with high //w/ -selectivity (Equation (92)).

In an extension to the method, it was shown that vinylboroxine and 1-alkenylboronic acids could function well in the coupling reaction although a catalytic system was not successful (Equations (235) and (236)).1015,1016,1024...
