Disiamylborane is prepared by hydroboration of trimethylethylene with diborane. [1] The reaction stops at the secondary borane due to steric hindrance. Disiamylborane is relatively selective for terminal alkynes and alkenes vs internal alkynes and alkenes. Like most hydroboration, the addition proceeds in an anti-Markovnikov manner. [1]
In anti addition, two substituents are added to opposite sides (or faces) of a double bond or triple bond, once again resulting in a decrease in bond order and increase in number of substituents. The classical example of this is bromination (any halogenation) of alkenes. [5] An anti addition reaction results in a trans-isomer of the products ...
In terms of regiochemistry, hydroboration is typically anti-Markovnikov, i.e. the hydrogen adds to the most substituted carbon of the double bond. That the regiochemistry is reverse of a typical HX addition reflects the polarity of the B δ+-H δ− bonds. Hydroboration proceeds via a four-membered transition state: the hydrogen and the boron ...
Among hindered dialkylboranes is disiamylborane, abbreviated Sia 2 BH. It also is a dimer. Owing to its steric bulk, it selectively hydroborates less hindered, usually terminal alkenes in the presence of more substituted alkenes. [12] Disiamylborane must be freshly prepared as its solutions can only be stored at 0 °C for a few hours.
Hydroboration–oxidation is an anti-Markovnikov reaction, with the hydroxyl group attaching to the less-substituted carbon. The reaction thus provides a more stereospecific and complementary regiochemical alternative to other hydration reactions such as acid-catalyzed addition and the oxymercuration–reduction process.
This process generally provides the syn-addition product; however, conditions exist to provide the anti-addition product though a modified mechanism. Trimethylsilyl (TMS) protected alkynes, trimethyl germanium alkynes, and terminal alkynes can produce anti-carboalumination products at room temperature or elevated temperatures if a coordinating ...
The disposition of the formed stereocenters is deemed syn or anti, depending if they are on the same or opposite sides of the main chain: Syn and anti products from an aldol (addition) reaction. The principal factor determining an aldol reaction's stereoselectivity is the enolizing metal counterion.
9-Borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane or 9-BBN is an organoborane compound. This colourless solid is used in organic chemistry as a hydroboration reagent.The compound exists as a hydride-bridged dimer, which easily cleaves in the presence of reducible substrates.
