Enantiopure homoallylic boronate esters are versatile intermediates because the C-B bond in these compounds can be stereospecifically transformed into C-C, C-O, and C-N bonds. Regio- enantioselective synthesis of precursors from 1,3-dienes has few precedents literature. We have identified reaction conditions ligands for nearly enantiopure (er >97:3 to >99:1) via a rarely seen cobalt-catalyzed [4,3]-hydroboration 1,3-dienes. Monosubstituted or 2,4-disubstituted linear dienes undergo highly efficient regio- hydroboration with HBPin catalyzed by [(L*)Co]+[BARF]-, where L* is typically chiral bis-phosphine ligand narrow bite angle. Several such (e.g., i-PrDuPhos, QuinoxP*, Duanphos, BenzP*) that give high enantioselectivities product been identified. In addition, equally challenging problem regioselectivity uniquely solved dibenzooxaphosphole ligand, (R,R)-MeO-BIBOP. A cationic cobalt(I) complex this very (TON >960) catalyst while also providing excellent regioselectivities (rr >98:2) broad range substrates. detailed computational investigation reactions using Co complexes two widely different (BenzP* MeO-BIBOP) employing B3LYP-D3 density functional theory provides key insights mechanism origins selectivities.
