Syntheses with organoboranes - VIII. Transformation of (1S,6R)-(+)-2- carene into (1S,6R)-(+)-3(10)-carene and (1R,5R)-(-)-α-thujene into (1R,5R)- (+)-sabinene

The transformation of (1S,6R)-(+)-2-carene and (1R,5R)-(-)-α-thujene into (1S,6R)-(+)-3(10)-carene and (1R,5R)-(+)-sabinene, respectively, by metallation-transmetallation-hydrolysis via the corresponding allylic organoborane intermediates is described.
