Hydroboration of acyclic apdienes, 1, 3-butadiene, 1, 4-pentadiene, 1, 5-hexadiene, 1, 6- heptadiene, 1, 7-octadiene, 1, 8-nonadiene, l, g-decadiene, 1, ll-dodecadiene, and 1, 13- tetradecadiene, with 2 molar equiv of O-borabicyclo-[3.3. l] nonane (9-BBN), followed by redistribution of the resulting dumbbell-shaped trialkylboranes with 1 molar equiv of boranemethyl sulfide complex (BMS), has been investigated. With 1, 3-butadiene, the ...
