Radical reactions in organoboron chemistry II - Inter- and intramolecular addition of carbon centered radicals to alkenylboranes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(95)00358-F

The intermolecular addition of carbon centered radicals to alkenylboranes has been studied. The influence of the olefin and boron substituents on the reactivity and the regioselectivity was determined. Competitive experiments were carried out to estimate the relative reactivity of a series of vinylboranes and other electron deficient alkenes. Intramolecular versions of these additions were also described as well as some further transformations of selected adducts.
