Stereodirected Synthesis with Organoboranes
This chapter provides abrief overview of organoborane reaction types. Reaction mechanisms are discussed, particularly with reference to whether they may or may not allow stereocontrol, but stereocontrolled applications are deferred to later chap ters. Reactions that replace boron by atoms other than carbon are discussed first (Section 3. 2), followed by boron substituted carbanions (Section 3. 3) and reactions that ...
