Abstract

The syntheses of boronates derived from the reaction of dioxaborolanes and dioxaborinanes with either organolithium or organomagnesium reagents are investigated along with their subsequent use in the palladium cross coupling reaction. The intrinsic stability of these cyclic esters contributes to their facile reaction with both lithium and magnesium nucleophiles at mild and safe conditions. We have found that many of the reactions proceed at room temperature which is a significant improvement over the traditional routes which require cryogenic temperatures. The scope of these reactions and their practical application to large scale process synthesis is described.
