Abstract

Abstract Diels–Alder reaction of 2,3-bis(pinacolato)boryl-1,3-butadiene with electron-deficient alkenes and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate proceeded smoothly upon heating, giving rise to the corresponding 1,2-diborylcyclohexenes in good to excellent yields. Conversion of two C–B bonds in the cycloadducts into C–C bonds is also demonstrated.
