Abstract

Abstract: The monohydroborations of dodeca-S, 7-diyne, 2, 7-dimethylocta-3, S-diyne, and 2, 2, 7, 7-tetramethylocta-3, s-diyne with disiamylborane [bis (3-methyl-2-butyl) borane] proceed to place the boron preferentially at the internal positions of the diyne system. The organoboron intermediates upon protonolysis with acetic acid give the corresponding cis- enynes in high yields. Oxidation of the monohydroboration products with alkaline ...
