Abstract
The reactions of dichloroborane BHCl2 with 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (TFP), and propene have been studied using B3LYP method with 6-31G* basis set. Ba sed on the calculations, all transition structures have parallelogram-like H-B-CC four-center geometry with small deformations. The introduction of fl uorine atoms changes the proportions of hydroborational products and revers es the regioselectivity.
