The reactions of aryl-stabilized sulfonium ylides with trialkyl/triarylboranes have been investigated. Clean monohomologation of the boranes with only a small amount of the higher homologation products (<10%) was observed. The homologation products were isolated as the alcohols (treatment with H2O2/NaOH) and amines (treatment with NH2OSO3H). Although the reactions were conveniently conducted at 5 °C, the ylide reaction with tributylborane was very fast even at −78 °C (complete after 15 min). Use of chiral sulfides rendered the reactions asymmetric, and high enantioselectivity (>95% ee) was observed in all cases. The ylide−borane reaction was applied to short syntheses of the anti-inflammatory agents neobenodine and cetirizine, both of which contain a chiral diarylmethylalkoxy and diarylmethylamino moiety, respectively.
