title: Synthesis of functionalized vinyl boronates via ruthenium-catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis and subsequent conversion to vinyl halides.
abstract: Functionalized vinyl pinacol boronates suitable for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions are synthesized using ruthenium-catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis of 1-propenyl pinacol boronate and various alkenes, including functionalized and 1,1-disubstituted alkenes. The resultant boronate cross products are stereoselectively transformed into predominantly Z-vinyl bromides and E-vinyl iodides. The vinyl bromides may be synthesized in a two-step, one-pot synthesis from a variety of olefins, resulting in a Z-selective formal vinyl bromide cross-metathesis reaction.
