Although a considerable number of alkyl-and aryl-boronic acids have been prepared (1), only two compounds of the alkenylboronic acid type have been described. The first to be reported, ß-styreneboronic acid (2), was obtained from a reaction of ß-styrylmagnesium bromide with isobutyl borate, and the second, 2-chloroethyleneboronic acid (3), was formed by the catalyzed addition of boron trichloride (or boron tribromide) to acetylene, followed by hydrolysis. Work in this general field has been limited by the fact that alkenylmetallic compounds necessary for use in the classical synthetic procedurehave, with the exception of the ß-styryl-magnesium and-lithium compounds, been unavailable. With the recent discovery by Braude and Timmons (4), that alkenyllithium reagents can be prepared by the actionof lithium on alkenyl bromides, however, this route for the preparation of the unsaturated boronic acids has been made possible. In order to obtaininformation concerning the feasibility of this procedure we have investigated the preparation of 2-methyl-l-propene-l-boronic acid from iso-butenyllithium and methyl borate.Isobutenyllithium was obtained in satisfactory yield (60-79%) without difficulty, and it reacted with carbon dioxide to give ß-methylcrotonic acid (27% yield after recrystallization). The reaction with methyl borate, however, was less satisfactory than the analogous reactions used for the preparation of the alkaneboronic acids. Johnson and coworkers (5) isolated purebutaneboronic acid in 50% yield (60-70% yield before recrystallization) from a reaction of butyl-magnesium bromide with methyl borate. We were able to duplicate their results, and furthermore, found that butyllithium could be used satisfactorily in place of the Grignard reagent. Yet the best yield of purified 2-methyl-l-propene-l-boronic acid that was realized from a reaction of isobutenyllithium with methyl borate was 7%(22% before recrystallization). 2-Methyl-l-propene-l-boronic acid, mp 84-86, shows an absorption maxi-mum at 223 µ (e=
