Abstract
The title compound adds to αβ-unsaturated carbonyls to give the products of 1,4-addition after hydrolysis of the intermediate boron enolates, in 68-86% isolated yield (four examples). In addition, we discovered that diazomethane reacts with bis(pinacolato)diborane to insert methylene to give (pinacolato)2BCH2B in 83% yield. An alternative synthesis involved coupling of (pinacolato)BCH2I with various metals.
