Abstract

General, convenient and simple syntheses of long straight chain alcohols and carboxylic acids were developed utilizing organoborane chemistry. One of the methods entails the thermal isomerization of long-chain alkyldicyclohexylboranes, followed by oxidation. An alternative procedure for the preparation of long-chain alcohols involves the KAPA isomerization of internal alkynes to the terminal derivative, followed by dihydroboration ...
