Abstract
Copper catalyzed multi-functionalization of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds is a powerful tool for the generation of complex molecules. We report a regiodivergent process that allows a switch between 1,4-borocupration and 4,1-borocupration of 1,3-dienes upon a simple change in ligand. The subsequently generated allyl coppers are trapped in an electrophilic cyanation to selectively generate densely functionalized and synthetically versatile 1,2- or 4,3-borocyanation products.Entities:
