Functoinal Group Tolerable Synthesis of Allylsilanes through Copper- Catalyzed &lamda;-Selective Allyl-Alkyl Coupling between Allylic Phosphates and Alkylboranes.

A copper-catalyzed γ-selective allyl-alkyl coupling between γ-silylated allylic phosphates and alkylboron compounds (alkyl- 9-BBN, prepared by hydroboration of alkenes with 9-BBN-H) produced allylsilanes. The reaction tolerated various functional groups in both the alkylboranes and the allylic phosphates, and afforded functionalized allylsilanes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
