Abstract

An enantioselective carbonyl allylation of aldehydes with simple alkenes has been achieved via a one-pot protocol consisting of a Pd-catalyzed allylic C-H borylation with bis(pinanediolato)diboron and a chiral Brønsted acid catalyzed asymmetric allylborylation, delivering homoallylic alcohols in high yields and with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The double chiral induction of chiral allylic borate and chiral phosphoric acid allows the reaction to give excellent stereoselectivities.
