14. 2, couples with vinyl halides to give allylsilanes [see: Zou, G.; Reddy, Y. K.; Falck, J. R. Tetrahedron Lett. 2001, 42, 7213-7215 ] the more substituted 1,1-silaboronic acid pinacol esters do not [see: Endo, K.; Ohkubo, T.; Hirokami, M.; Shibata, T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 11033-11035.] and so this strategy cannot be used to make tertiary or quaternary allylsilanes. Endo et al. did report the successful coupling of substituted 1,1-bisboronic acid pinacol esters. Apart from this and other isolated cases, secondary boronic acids/pinacol esters do not normally undergo efficient Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling For a review, see: Crudden, C. M.; Glasspoole, B.

25. Our attempts to effect the lithiation-borylation reaction, shown in Scheme 1, only gave racemic allylsilane 4 (R = Ph) even when the reaction was conducted at -100 °C. The configurational instability of silyl-substituted lithiated carbamates has been noted before: Simov, B. P.; Rohn, A.; Brecker, L.; Giester, G.; Hammerschmidt, F. Synthesis 2004, 16, 2704-2710
