Significance

Morken and co-workers report a catalytic conjunctive cross-coupling of organoborates, organolithium reagents and organotriflates for the synthesis of chiral boronic acids with high enantioselectivity.

Comment

The intermediate boronic ester ate-complex reacts in a palladium-induced metallate rearrangement, wherein 1,2-migration of an alkyl or aryl group from the boron atom to the vinyl α-carbon occurs simultaneously with C–Pd σ-bond formation.
