Remote functionalization involving a fascinating chain-walking process has emerged as a powerful strategy for the rapid access to value-added functional molecules from readily available feedstocks. However, the scope of current methods is predominantly limited to mono-and di-substituted alkenes. The remote functionalization of multi-and heteroatom-substituted alkenes is challenging, and the use of alkynes in the chain walking is unexplored. We herein report a rhodium catalyzed remote borylation of internal alkynes, offering an unprecedented reaction mode of alkynes for the preparation of synthetically valuable 1,ndiboronates. The regioselective distal migratory hydroboration of sterically hindered tri-and tetra-substituted vinylboronates is also demonstrated to furnish various multi-boronic esters. Synthetic utilities are highlighted through the selective manipulation of the two boryl groups in products such as the regioselective cross coupling, oxidation, and amination.

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.
