Abstract

6 by isomerization of the resulting organoborane mixture* in refluxing diglyme, resulted in a poorly selective boron migration onto both ends of the alkyl chain (Table I). For the above reasons, 2-methyl-2-butene (6) appeared to be an ideal olefinic system to test the potential of the aforementioned monofunctional hydroborating agents.
