Abstract

AbstractA potassium‐bis(trimethylsilyl)amide‐mediated cyclopropanation of allyl phosphates with silylboronates has been developed. Unlike the reported copper‐catalyzed allylic substitution reactions, the nucleophile selectively attacks at the β‐position of the allylic substrates under the present reaction conditions. The mechanism of this process has also been investigated, thus indicating the involvement of a silylpotassium species as the active nucleophilic component.
