The hydroboration of propargyl chloride by means of a dialkylborane affords
3-chloro-prop-l-en-l-yl boranes 6 which, in the presence of a quaternary a
mmonium chloride, rearrange into allylic boranes 9 and 10, precursors of (E
)-homoallylic alcohols 7 or anti-homoallylic alcohols 5, respectively. Synt
hetic protocols for the selective generation of 5 and 7 were developed.
