title: Opportune gem-Silylborylation of Carbonyl Compounds: A Modular and Stereocontrolled Entry to Tetrasubstituted Olefins.
abstract: An easy access to highly versatile gem-silylboronate synthons is achieved by means of a new olefination reagent, HC(Bpin)2(SiMe3). Subsequent silicon or boron-based selective functionalization allows for the modular and stereocontrolled synthesis of all-carbon tetrasubstituted alkenes. A particular attraction of this approach is the iododesilylation reaction, which becomes a pivotal tool for C-Si functionalization.
