Abstract
Application of the boron-Wittig reaction to ketone electrophiles provides a straightforward route to trisubstituted alkenylboronic esters. With either a pentamethyldiethylenetriamine or trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane additive, the olefination can occur with very high levels of stereocontrol and in good chemical yield.
