Abstract

The reaction of 9-aryl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (B-Ar-9BBN) with α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes in the presence of 3 mol % [Rh(OMe)(cod)]2 in toluene at 20 °C for 2 h gave high yields of the tandem 1,4-addition−aldol reaction products with high syn selectivity. The reaction proceeds through the catalytic cycle consisting of 1,4-addition of an organorhodium species to an α,β-unsaturated ketone and the aldol addition of the resulting (oxa-π-allyl)rhodium intermediate to an aldehyde.
