Vinyl boronic esters are valuable substrates for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. However, boron-substituted alkenes have drawn little attention as radical acceptors, and the radical chemistry of vinylboron ate complexes is underexplored. We show here that carbon radicals add efficiently to vinylboron ate complexes and that their adduct radical anions undergo radical-polar crossover: A 1,2-alkyl/aryl shift from boron to the α-carbon sp2 center provides secondary or tertiary alkyl boronic esters. In contrast to the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, a transition metal is not required, and two carbon-carbon bonds are formed. The valuable boronic ester moiety remains in the product and can be used in follow-up chemistry, enlarging the chemical space of the method. The cascade uses commercial starting materials and provides access to perfluoroalkylated alcohols, γ-lactones, γ-hydroxy alkylnitriles, and compounds bearing quaternary carbon centers.

(Chemical Equation Presented) We report the structure determination of the product 9 of the rearrangement of the allylic alcohol 3 under very mild conditions, probably promoted by an acidic substance, and propose a reasonable mechanism for its formation.
C-C Bond Cleavage of 2-Acylimidazolium Salts in a Sequence involving a New Ester Homoenolate Equivalent. A Synthesis of γ-Lactones

Reaction of the anion of 2-(1-tri-isopropylsiloxyallyl)-N-methoxymethylimidazole with ketones and aldehydes proseeds regioselectivity to give the enol silyl ethers of 2-acylimidazoles which suffer cleavage to γ-lactones after desilylation, N-methylation, and base treatment.
