Abstract

Simple syntheses of some vinylboranes are reported, and their properties in Diels-Alder reactions are compared. Vinyl-3, 6-dimethylborepane was the most stable simple vinylborane examined, and appears to be indefinitely stable at 25° C. Surprisingly, trivinylborane is the most reactive, and reacts about 18 times faster than the vinyldialkylboranes with cyclopentadiene. Vinyl-9-BBN is the most regioselective ...
