The synthesis of enantioenriched α-chiral organoboron compounds has received significant attention in chemical synthesis because the CÀB bond can be converted into CÀO, CÀ N, and CÀC bonds in a stereospecific fashion.[1] Thus, the design of efficient catalytic protocols for asymmetric synthesis of boron-containing compounds is of utmost interest for organic synthesis.[2, 3] In this context, homoallyl-and allylboronates are highly useful since additional derivatization using the alkene moiety as well as the boron group gives rapid access to multifunctional chiral compounds. They can also be used as chiral nucleophiles for additions to either aldehydes and ketones, or imines to give the corresponding alcohols or amines, respectively.[1b1 The metal-mediated enantioselective hydroboration of alkenes is an important method for the preparation of chiral organoboron compounds.[3] With respect to the synthesis of enantioenriched homoallylboronates, Ito and co-workers disclosed an elegant protocol for the synthesis of enantioenriched cyclic homoallylboronates by coppercatalyzed regioselective asymmetric monoborylation of 1, 3-dienes using bis (pinacolato) diboron (B2pin2; 1).[4] B2pin2 (1) has also been successfully employed as the boryl reagent in chiral copper phosphine complexes [5] or bidentate N-hetrocyclic carbene copper complexes to catalyze [6] enantioselective conjugate additions to α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, alkenes, alkynes, and dienes. However, the regioselective and enantioselective 1, 6-addition of 1 to 2, 4-dienaote esters such as A to give the corresponding homoallylboranes 4 has, to the best of our knowledge, not been disclosed (see Eq.(1) for structures).[7] This reaction is challenging and is more likely to render the 1, 4-addition product B or a mixture of both compounds. In fact, performing the copper-catalyzed addition of 1 to phenyl-2, 4-dienaote A using PPh3 (7a) as the ligand gave exclusively the 1, 4-addition product B after 2 hours (50% conv., 45% yield)[Eq.(1)].Multicomponent reactions that involve the formation of multiple CÀC and carbon–heteroatom bonds in a highly chemo-and stereoselective fashion in one pot is an important research field within chemical synthesis. In particular, the development of catalytic asymmetric multicomponent reactions is a difficult task.[8] Based on the importance of discovering new enantioselective multicomponent reactions, we envisioned an alternative route to the enantioenriched homoallylboronates 4 by a one-pot catalytic asymmetric borane conjugate addition/Wittig reaction sequence using 1, the α, β-unsaturated aldehydes 2, and 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene) acetate esters 3 [Eq.(2)].
