A series of 1-alkenyl-o-carboranes was hydroborated using representative hydroborating agents with different steric requirements. The steric and electronic effects of the carboranyl group were evaluated by examining the distribution of the isomeric alcohols obtained after oxidation of the intermediate carboranyl-substituted organoboranes.
