Abstract
Abstract Systematic studies of the partial alkylation of diborane with norbornene and cyclopentene were carried out in THF and the equilibrium distribution of the borane derivatives was determined. Di-exo-norbornylborane was obtained in 71% yield with no mono-exo-norbornylborane as a by-product, under the conditions: initial ratio of norbornene to borane 2 : 1, temperature 0 °C and reaction time 1 h. Mono-exo-norbornylborane was obtained in 72–75% yield under the conditions: initial ratio of norbornene to borane 1 : 1, temperature 25 °C, and reaction time 48 h. In the dialkylborane [R2BH]2, norbornene and cyclopentene exhibit very different behavior during the course of equilibration reaction.
