An original syn: The first enantioselective Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of chiral, enantioenriched secondary allylic boronic esters is described (see scheme; DME=dimethoxyethane, Bpin = pinacolboryl, dba = dibenzylideneacetone). Mechanistic studies show that the reactions proceed via γ-selective transmetalation followed by reductive elimination. The reaction provides the first independent confirmation that the transmetalation of boronic esters proceeds via a syn pathway.
