Regiocontrolled opening of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran with various boron reagents

Regiocontrolled halogenative cleavage of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran with various B-bromoboranes, by a predominantly SN2-type mechanism favouring the formation of primary bromide, is described. A comparative study of the relative reactivities of BH2Br?SMe2, BHBr 2?SMe2, BBr3, (MeO)2BBr, and MeOBBr2 revealed that the newly synthesized (MeO)2BBr is a highly promising regioselective reagent, especially at lower temperatures.
