The application belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and discloses a method for synthesizing
alkyl borate compounds by taking
allyl alcohol as a substrate, which comprises the following steps: taking
allyl alcohol shown in formula I and
pinacol diboron as substrates, taking monovalent
copper salt as a catalyst, and reacting in an
organic solvent under the action of a base, a
proton source and a ligand to obtain
alkyl borate compounds shown in formula II according to the following reaction formula. In the application, monovalent
copper is used to catalyze the
coupling of
pinacol diboron and
allyl alcohol to form
alkyl borate, the substrate range is widened, the use of noble metals and strong reducing agents is avoided, no excess
metal waste is generated, the
green chemistry concept is met, the reaction steps are significantly shortened, and the cost can be reduced.
