Haloboration-conjugate addition

The utility of haloboration-conjugate addition sequence has been demonstrated in the selective synthesis of several natural products such as sulcatol, trans-geranylacetone, and trans-nerolidol (Scheme 13.4) [20]. 

Haloboration of terminal alkynes yielded stereodefined (Z)-2-halo-l-alkenylboron compounds e.g., 114, 115 that allowed further functionalization of the resulting C-Br or G-B bond. 2,2-Disubstituted-l-alkenylboronic esters were stereoselectively obtained when the haloboration was followed by cross-coupling with 1-alkynylzinc chlorides (Equation (18)).192 The iodoboration-conjugate addition sequence gave alkenyl iodides that were used as intermediate for the total synthesis of deoxyepothilone derivatives (Equation (19)).193-195... 

In addition to hydroboration, haloboration and phenylboration have also been used in the synthesis of 7r-conjugated organoboron polymers (9)29 (Fig. 9) and polymers containing B—N bonds.30...
