Activation of enantiomerically enriched tertiary alkylboronic esters with adamantyllithium generated <i>in situ</i> enables stereoretentive boron-to-copper transmetalation. The resulting alkylcopper species can undergo cross-coupling reactions with an array of electrophiles to furnish synthetically useful compounds bearing quaternary stereocenters. DFT calculations of the transmetalation process provide insights for reactivity and selectivity. ...[more]
