Background The discovery of the facile hydroboration of alkenes in 1957* J'made trialkylboranes readily available. Systematic investigation of these trialkylboranes soon demonstrated that they have a rich chemistry, ideal as intermediates in organic synthesis? The later hydroboration of acetylenes,'dieness and alleness made available vinylic and other unsaturated organoboranes. These unsaturated organoboranes proved to have an ...
