Significance

A copper-catalyzed carbonylative four-component coupling of olefins to access γ-boryl esters is disclosed. Two CO molecules act as the –CH2CO– source. The regio- and syn-selective boryl cupration gives the products in high stereoselectivity.

Comment

Based on 13C and 2H NMR labeling experiments, the shown mechanism is proposed. Further synthetic transformations of the γ-boryl esters were performed to demonstrate the synthetic utility of this protocol.
