Abstract

The reagent 3-chloro-1-lithiopropene (4) can be generated by treating 1 bromo-3-chloropropene with t-BuLi. It is unstable, but if generated at low temperature in presence of alkylboronic esters such as 3 is trapped in situ to give rearrangement products 2 (Scheme 1a), which on oxidation give 3 alkylprop-1-en-3-ols in good yields. The reaction works for primary, secondary, benzylic and even tertiary alkylboronic esters, providing allylic alcohols bearing almost any alkyl group available using organoborane chemistry and incorporating all features of such groups.
