Kinetically controlled hydroboration of allenes 8 and 14a−d with the readily accessible Soderquist borane 7, which is generated in situ from borohydride 6, constitutes a convenient and preparatively useful method for synthesis of (Z)-γ-(substituted)allylboranes 9 and 15a−d. These allylboranes undergo highly diastereo- (≥90: 10) and enantioselective (typically 89−96% e.e.) allylboration reactions with representative aldehydes to give syn-β-functionalized homoallylic alcohols.
