Organobase-catalyzed 1,1-diborylation of terminal alkynes under metal-free conditions.

ABSTRACT: An organobase-catalyzed 1,1-diborylation of terminal alkynes from propargylic derivatives with bis(2,4-dimethylpentane-2,4-glycolato)diboron (B₂oct₂) is first reported, regioselectively providing 1,1-diborylalkene products with high efficiency. The catalytic pathway is well postulated on the basis of DFT calculations.
