Stereoselective synthesis of all-cis boryl tetrahydroquinolines via copper-catalyzed regioselective addition/cyclization of o-aldiminyl cinnamate with B2Pin2

Abstract

A copper catalyzed intramolecular 1,2-carboboration of o-aldiminyl cinnamate has been realized in both regio- and stereoselective fashions. This reaction provides a convenient entry to highly valuable and otherwise challenging cis-2,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydroquinolines carrying a 4-boryl group. An unusual non-Michael addition intermediate or alternatively, a cyclic enolate is proposed to account for the intriguing all-cis configuration in the final products.
