The first catalytic method for the selective 1,4-conjugate allylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is reported. The method employs an air-stable diethanolamine-complexed boronic acid (DABO boronate) as the allyl transfer reagent and promotes conjugate addition over 1,2-addition. A variety of aryl- and alkyl-substituted enals are tolerated, providing δ,ε-unsaturated aldehyde products in good yields and selectivities under mild conditions.
首次报道了一种对α,β-不饱和醛进行选择性 1,4-共轭烯丙基化的催化方法。该方法采用空气稳定的二乙醇胺配合硼酸(DABO 硼酸酯)作为烯丙基转移试剂,促进共轭加成而不是 1,2-加成。该方法能够容忍各种芳基和烷基取代的烯醛,在温和条件下以良好的收率和选择性得到 δ,ε-不饱和醛产物。
