Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 64 g (785.0 mmol) of cyclohexene in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF) is added to 392.5 ml (392.5 mmol) of borane (1 M solution in THF) at -15°, after which the solution is stirred at 0°-5° for 1 hour to prepare dicyclohexylborane. This is cooled to -15° and 32 g (392.5 mmol) of 1-hexyne in 10 ml of THF is added dropwise. After addition is completed the reaction mixture is stirred at 0°-5° for 2.5 hours to yield a solution of (E)-1-hexen-1-yldicyclohexylborane.
