A number of alkynyl pinacolboronates bearing various functional groups were synthesized according to literature methods. These were then stereoselectively reduced to the cis-alkenyl pinacolboronates via hydroboration with dicyclohexylborane followed by chemoselective protodeboronation using acetic acid.

Herein we present a general protocol for the functionalization of biomolecules with an organotrifluoroborate moiety so that they can be radiolabeled with aqueous (18)F fluoride ((18)F(-)) and used for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Among the β(+)-emitting radionuclides, fluorine-18 ((18)F)

E-allylic boronic esters undergo a highly diastereoselective protodeboronation with TBAF⋅3 H(2)O to give Z-trisubstituted alkenes. The selectivity can be switched to give predominantly the E-alkene instead by using KHF(2)/TsOH (see scheme). The utility of the methodology has been illustrated in a
