Described here is an enantioselective approach of making chiral, β-substituted homoallylic organoboronic esters. In the presence of LiOtBu and a catalytic amount of silver salt, commercial bis­[(pinacolato)­boryl]­methane participated in the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylation reactions, delivered a “CH2B­(pin)” group, and yielded the title compounds from allylic carbonates. The synthetic utility of the prepared chiral organoboronates was demonstrated by their conversion to other important classes of compounds.
