In keeping with expectations (Chaumeil, H.; Signorella, S.; Le Drian, C Tetrahedron 2000, 56, 9655) the 2,2-dimethyl-l,3- propanediol derived boronate 9, which was readily prepared by the methods defined in the Supporting Information, proved a more effective coupling partner than its pinacol-derived equivalent
