Abstract
We have investigated the possibility of synthesizing substituted vinyl boronates from gem-borylsilylmethane derivatives using the Peterson olefination. Our results show a total chemoselectivity for the Peterson olefination over the boron-Wittig reaction, and a low Z selectivity, regardless of the nature of the carbonyl partner. A mechanistic study helps explain observed reactivity, chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity.
