Fig. 1: Axially Chiral Allenes Containing Organoboron.

a Synthesis of axially chiral allenes bearing organoboron group. b Previously known gem-diboron compounds and remaining challenge. c Synthesis and diversifications of axially chiral α-boryl-homoallenyl boronic esters (this work). d Evaluation of reaction conditions (See the Supplementary information for details). Bpin: (pinacolato)boryl; Me: methyl; Ph: phenyl; Ac: acetyl; THF: tetrahydrofuran; Ar: aryl group; PG: protecting group.
