Cobalt-catalyzed deoxygenative triborylation of allylic ethers to access 1,1,3-triborylalkanes

Organoboron compounds are versatile intermediates in chemical synthesis. Here, the authors report a selective cobalt-catalyzed deoxygenative triborylation of allylic ethers with pinacolborane to prepare 1,1,3-triborylalkane compounds.
