Abstract

Abstract Hydroboration of tetrasubstituted or trisubstituted alkenes with BH 3 and subsequent thermolysis allows remote diastereoselective C [BOND] H activation of neighboring aryl rings. Tetrasubstituted and trisubstituted 1, 1-diphenylethylene derivatives undergo a highly stereoselective 1, 2-rearrangement followed by remote C [BOND] H activation to lead, after oxidative workup, to a diol in which the relative stereochemistry of ...
