title: Direct stereospecific amination of alkyl and aryl pinacol boronates.
abstract: The direct amination of alkyl and aryl pinacol boronates is accomplished with lithiated methoxyamine. This reaction directly provides aliphatic and aromatic amines, stereospecifically, and without preactivation of the boronate substrate.
