Publication Abstract: 

We have developed a process for the homologation of boranes and boronic esters using Hoppe-type lithiated carbamates which shows very broad substratescope. The Hoppe-type lithiated carbamates are effectively chiral carbenoids and are derived from the simplest of reagents: primary alcohols. The power of the methodology lies in its iterative use. Thus, through two cycles of the homologation process, either enantiomer of either diastereo-mer can be easily accessed through appropriate choice of thechiral diamine employed (()-sparteine 12 or (+)-11).Application of this versatile methodology in natural product synthesis is currently underway.
