Abstract

The addition of catecholborane (HBcat, cat= 1, 2-O2C6H4) to 9-vinylcarbazole can give either the branched or linear hydroboration product depending upon the judicious choice of metal catalyst used in these reactions. Analogous reactions with pinacolborane (HBpin, pin= 1, 2-O2C2Me4) and HBBzpin (Bzpin= 1, 2-O2C2Ph4) using catalytic amounts (5mol%) of either Rh (acac)(dppb) or [Cp∗ IrCl2] 2 gave the linear hydroboration product selectively. ...
