Abstract
A Lewis acid-promoted highly regio- and diastereoselective C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling reaction between unprotected aryl-substituted 1,2-diols and styryl-, aryl-, heteroaryl-, and polyarylboronic acids has been developed in a one-pot procedure. The regioselective opening of aryl-substituted cyclic boronic esters promoted by a Lewis acid followed by subsequent intramolecular 1,4-transfer of the carbon ligand from boron to a resonance-stabilized benzylic carbenium ion minimizing the allylic 1,3-strain in a stereoselective fashion led to the corresponding α-substituted syn-phenylethyl alcohols. The synthetic utility of the method was illustrated by a short and efficient enantioselective synthesis of cherylline diethyl ether (-)-16.
