The coordination of a nega- tively charged base to the boron atom has been recognized to be an efficient method of increasing its aryl-, 1-alkynyl-, and 1-alkenylboronic esters in high nucleophilicity to transfer the organic group on boron yields, often over 90% (eq 5).23Triisopropyl borate to the adjacent positive center (1,2-migration reac- is shown to be the best of available alkyl borates to tion).12 However, intermolecular transfer reaction avoid such multiple alkylation of the borates. such as the Grignard-like reaction are relatively rare.
