T. Sugimura et al., Oxy-function promoted hydroboration of conjugated dienes with controlled allylic borane rearrangement, CHEM COMMUN, (21), 2001, pp. 2180-2181
Hydroboration of conjugated dienes is promoted by the hydroxy and methoxy g
roups, which also control the rearrangement of the initially produced allyl
ic boranes.
