“…The process of generation of alkylidene‐type carbenoids by deprotonation, gem ‐silylborylation or gem ‐diborylation, involving lithium 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP) or BuLi is an effective method for the synthesis of dienes with one or two borane groups attached to C atom in C=C fragment at the terminal position 6 , 8 , 11 , 12 (Scheme , Path I and Path II) . The essence of the gem ‐dimetalation, for example gem ‐silylborylation of carbenoids pathway, is the borate complex B possessing silicon atom as a migrating group, which leads the product C with inversion of the configuration (Scheme ).…”
