Chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective iron-catalysed hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes

Abstract

The highly chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective synthesis of alkyl- and vinyl boronic esters with good functional group tolerance has been developed using in situ activation of a bench-stable iron(II) pre-catalyst and pinacolborane (16 examples, 45–95% yield, TOF up to 30 000 mol h−1). The first iron-catalysed alkene hydrogermylation is also reported.
