Abstract
While 1,2-regioselective difunctionalizations of alkenes are well developed, their migratory difunctionalization of alkenes remains comparatively under-researched. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed, divergent, solvent-controlled 1,1- or 1,3-regioselective benzylboration of allylbenzenes, that provides efficient access to primary and secondary alkyl boronates. The mild reaction conditions of these transformations allow good regioselectivity and wide functional group tolerance. (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
