Abstract

The rate of the ring-opening rearrangement of the borane derived from hydroboration of trans-2,3-dimethylmethylenecyclopropane with 9-BBN was measured in hexane, tetrahydrofuran, and methylene chloride. The modest increase in rate which was observed with increasing polarity is interpreted to imply a transition state only slightly more polar than the reactant.
