Abstract
A potassium-bis(trimethylsilyl)amide-mediated cyclopropanation of allyl phosphates with silylboronates has been developed. Unlike the reported copper-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions, the nucleophile selectively attacks at the β-position of the allylic substrates under the present reaction conditions. The mechanism of this process has also been investigated, thus indicating the involvement of a silylpotassium species as the active nucleophilic component.
