An approach to the synthesis of oxa‐ and azabicyclo[n.1.0]alkan‐1‐yl trifluoroborates on a multigram scale was developed. Two synthetic strategies were evaluated: the first based on the lithiation–borylation of the corresponding 2‐bromoallyl derivatives, and the other relying on regioselective hydroboration of the appropriate hetera‐substituted enynes. The second method appeared to be more efficient in terms of scalability and substrate scope. Further steps included ring closing‐metathesis, mild palladium‐catalyzed cyclopropanation with diazomethane, and reaction with KHF2 and furnished the title compounds in up to 50 g scale in a single run (10–41 % overall yield, 4–5 steps).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
