Popis: We report an efficient approach for the direct synthesis of alkenylboronates using copper catalysis. The Cu/TEMPO catalyst system (where TEMPO = (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl) exhibits both excellent reactivity and selectivity for the synthesis of alkenylboronates, starting from inexpensive and abundant alkenes and pinacol diboron. This approach allows for the direct functionalization of both aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkenes. Mechanistic experiments suggest that the alkenylboronates arise from oxyboration intermediates.
