We report herein catalytic asymmetric transformations of racemic α-borylmethyl-(<i>E</i>)-crotylboronate. The Brønsted acid-catalyzed kinetic resolution-allylboration reaction sequence of the racemic reagent gave (<i>Z</i>)-δ-hydroxymethyl-<i>anti</i>-homoallylic alcohols with high <i>Z</i>-selectivities and enantioselectivities upon oxidative workup. In parallel, enantioconvergent pathways were utilized to synthesize chiral nonracemic 1,5-diols and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with excellent optic ...[more]
