Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of vinylarenes

Olefin hydroboration, which is the addition of a B-H bond across C=C bond, was first discovered by H. C. Brown in 1956 and Koster in 1958. Typically, the reaction does not require a catalyst and the simple borane reagent (e.g., BHg THF, BH3-SMe2, BH2Cl Et20, thexylborane, disiam-ylborane, and 9-BBN) or boranes bearing electron-withdrawing substituents (e.g.. Piers s borane B(C6p5)2 ) react rapidly even at room temperature to afford, after oxidation, the linear anti-Markovnikov products. The reaction can be remarkably C=C/C=0 chemoselective for terminal alkenes [Pg.158]

In this chapter, origin of enantioselectivity in the hydroboration/ oxidation of vinylarenes with catecholborane by cationic rhodium complexes is discussed based on computational work of Fernandez and Bo as [Pg.159]

Fernandez and Bo suggested that the key intermediate responsible for both regio- and enantioselectivity is pentacoordinated H-Rh-(ligand)-catecholborane-styrene complex, where styrene is coordinated trans to the naphthylpyridine moiety and the hydride is in axial position.i 3 The [Pg.161]
