Abstract
The present investigation demonstrates the hydroboration of 1,2-nonadiene, phenylpropadiene, 3-phenyl-1,2-butadiene, 4,5-nonadiene, and tetramethylallene with disiamylborane. All the allenes except tetramethylallene underwent 100% conversion. Examination of the products indicated preferential electrophilic attack of boron on the least substituted terminal carbon atom in the case of 1,2-nonadiene, phenylpropadiene, 3-phenyl-1,2-butadiene, and on the central carbon atom in 4,5-nonadiene. In tetramethylallene boron, attack was exclusively on the central carbon atom. These results have been explained in terms of steric effects on a four-centered transition state.
