Crotyl boronates react with aldehydes to produce alcohols. The reaction is stereospecific so that the geometry of the crotyl boronate determines the stereochemistry of the alcohol product. E- and Z-crotyl boronates produce different alcohols, CLICK the links below to see how each of the boronates react:
