Enolboration. 6. Dicyclohexyliodoborane, a Versatile Reagent for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Either Z or E Enolates from Representative Esters

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00088a012

A smooth, rapid, quantitative, and highly stereoselective synthesis of either Z or E enolates from representative esters has been achieved with dicyclohexyliodoborane, Chx2BI, in the presence of a suitable tertiary amine, such as triethylamine or N,N-diis
