Significance

A palladium-catalyzed protocol for the (asymmetric) construction of oxazaborolidines is reported. The transformation proceeds through a decarboxylative/dehydrogenative (3+2) cycloaddition of 1,2-azaborines and vinyl ethylene carbonate.

Comment

This procedure provides access to polycyclic oxazaborolidines in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. Mechanistic experiments support the release of molecular H2 from the zwitterionic intermediate A.
