Abstract
[GRAPHICS] The allylboration of alkenes with allyldibromoborane is described. Utilizin g an improved methodology for the synthesis of allyldibromoborane, 1,3-dien es, styrene, and even isolated alkenes could be carbometalated in high yiel d regio- and stereospecifically at 0 degrees C. This high reactivity of all yldibromoborane significantly expands the scope of carbometalations of alke nes.
