An efficient and general method for the chemoselective synthesis of unsymmetrical gem-diborylalkanes is reported. This method is based on a late-stage desymmetrization through nucleophilic “trifluorination”, providing chiral gem-diborylalkanes bearing a trifluoroborate group. The reaction offers a highly modular and diastereoselective approach towards the synthesis of gem-diborylcyclopropanes. The utility of the gem-diborylalkane building blocks was demonstrated by selective post-functionalization of the trifluoroborate group. These functionalizations include inter- and intra- Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions.

The reaction of different allylic and benzylic non-enolisable esters or amides (1), carbonates (4), carbamates (6, 7) and ureas (8) with an excess of lithium powder and a catalytic amount of naphthalene (10%) in the presence of an electrophile [(i)PrCHO, (t)BuCHO, PhCHO, Me2CO, Et2CO, (CH2)5CO, Ph2CO, Me3SiCl] in THF at different temperatures (-78, -30 or 0°C) leads, after hydrolysis with water to the corresponding allylated or benzylated products (2).
