Preparahon of B-isoprenyldialkylboranes is achieved by adopting the Brandsma modification of the Schlosser procedure, namely metallation of isoprene with potassium 2,2,5,5tetramethylpiperidide followed by sequential treatment with B-methoxydialkylborane and boron trifluoride-etherate. These reagent
