“…2-{(1 E )-3-[( E )-1-Phenylhept-1-en-3-yloxy]prop-1-enyl}-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborol ane (6a). A microwave-compatible reaction vessel was charged with 56 mg of Cp 2 Zr(H)Cl (0.05 equiv, 0.22 mmol) and 0.33 mL of CH 2 Cl 2 (3.0 M in alkyne). The resulting suspension was cooled to 0 °C, and 1.00 g of propargylic ether 5a (4.38 mmol) and 617 mg of pinacolborane (1.1 equiv, 4.82 mmol) were added.…”
