The chiral bis(2,4-dimethyl-3-pentyl)tartrate ester of (2-bromoallyl)boronic acid was directly prepared from the corresponding bis(2,4-dimethyl-3-pentyl) tartrate and (2-bromoallyl)diisopropoxyborane (1), obtained by the bromoboration reaction of allene. The enantioselective synthesis of 2-bromohomoallylic alcohols was achieved using the chiral (2-bromoallyl)boranes.
