Abstract
(Z)‐2‐Butenyl‐dimethoxyborane adds smoothly to propanal and benzaldehyde to afford the homoallyl alcohols (R*,R*)‐1 and (R*,R*)‐2, In contrast (E)‐2‐butenyl‐dimethoxyborane leads to adducts having the (R*,S*)‐configuration. Dimethoxy‐(Z)‐2‐pentenylborane, dimethoxy‐(Z)‐(2‐methyl‐2‐butenyl)borane and (2__Z__,4__E__)‐or (2__E__,4__Z__)hexadienyl‐dimethoxyborane, treated with propanal, give (R*,R*)‐3, (R*,R*)‐4, (E),(R*,S*)‐5 and (Z),(R*, R*)‐5, respectively. A transition state model implying a pericyclic electron motion is in perfect agreement with the regio‐ and stereoselective outcome of these borane reactions.
