Allyl boronates are very important reagents in advanced organic synthesis for the allylation of carbonyl compounds [1] and in cross-coupling [2] reactions. A practically unrivalled property of allylboronates is their highly regio-and stereoselective addition to carbonyl compounds to afford homoallylic alcohols. [1a-d, 3] This high selectivity is mainly based on two factors: 1) Allylboronates are configurationally stable, and unlike many allyl metal compounds [4] (such as allylGrignard reagents, allyl lithium compounds or allylboranes) do not undergo metallotropic rearrangement and E/Z isomerization at ambient conditions. 2) The six-membered ring transition state (TS) of the allylboration of carbonyl compounds is highly conformationally constrained, which leads to a strong differentiation in the stereoselection process. [3a, 5] Method development for broadening the number of accessible functionalized allyl boronates is one of the most important challenges in organoboron chemistry.In allylboration reactions with allylboronic esters, allyl pinacolborate (allyl-Bpin) reagents are most frequently applied as the allyl source, [1a-d] as allyl-Bpins can be easily handled and the functionalized derivatives can be obtained by metal-catalyzed borylation of the allyl precursors with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B 2 pin 2 ) as the boronate source. [6] Problems in synthetic applications arise from the relatively low reactivity of allyl-Bpin compounds towards most carbonyl compounds. Although aldehydes easily react with allyl-Bpin without catalysts, ketones do not. There are very few attempts at the direct allylation of ketones by functionalized allylBpins or their ester analogues reported in the literature.
