Boranes in Functionalization of Olefins to Amines 3-Pinanamine

Heteroatoni groups such as boron or silicon can activate or direct synthetic reactions. Use of such activation has become of major importance in organic syntheses. Examples in this volume are BORANES IN FUNCTIONALIZATION OF DIENES TO CYCLIC KETONES BICYCLO[3.3.1]NONAN-9-ONE and BORANES IN FUNCTIONALIZATION OF OLEFINS TO AMINES 3-PINANAMINE. Use of trimethylsilyl or trimethyl-silyloxy groups to activate a 2-butenone or a butadiene are illustrated by the preparations 3-TRIMETHYLSILYL-3-BUTEN-...
