Abstract

The ability to form carbon-carbon bonds rationally around an alkene is the object of continuing vigorous research. l Our contribution to this area involves the use of gem- borazirconocene alkenes, 2, readily available from 1-alkynylboronates by hydrozirconation. 2 These compounds are stabile and due to the considerably different reactivities of the C-Zr and CB bonds, enable selective and sequential reactions with a variety of electrophiles. ...
