Deuterium labelling studies have shown that the facile elimination of the 5β-hydroxy group observed in the course of hydroboration of a 5β-hydroxyandrost-3-ene may involve a trans diaxial borane-borinate elimination coupled with a syn transfer of hydrogen from the borinate.
Regioselectivity in the Hydroboration of Steroidal δ3-Allylic Alcohols

The presence of an allylic 5α-hydroxy group in an androst-3-ene increases the proportion of addition of a borane to the adjacent C-4 compared to the unsubstituted steroid and directs the addition to the face of the alkene anti to the hydroxy group with stereochemical effects that may oppose those of the C-10β-methyl group.
