As part of a program directed toward the study of new electrocyclization reactions, we became interested in the chemistry of functionalized vinyl boronates, which might be used to create polyenes via cross-coupling reactions with the appropriate electrophilic partners.  In this context, we began studying the chemistry of the known boronate 1  and various congeners.  We will report on the synthesis of various congeners of 1  as well as current progress associated with their cross-coupling reactions.  Further, we will report our synthetic and mechanistic studies regarding the deprotonation and alkylation of 1  .
