Asymmetric hydroboration of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with 4R produces the allylborane 5RR as essentially a single diastereomer (i.e., no observable 5RS), and its addition to representative aldehydes provides 9RS (52鈥?5%) with excellent selectivity (94鈥?9% ee). By contrast, a similar sequence with the 10-Ph-BBD reagent, 14R, results in a ca. 45:55 mixture of 15RR and 15RS. However, their addition to methyl ketones provides the corresponding 3掳-homoallylic alcohols (18RS) with excellent selectivity (80鈥?9% ee) but in low yields (15鈥?2%) because 15RS is unreactive toward either allylboration or isomerization to 15RR. Thus, with 2 equiv of 15, the yield of 18 (R = Ph) is increased from 52% to 85%. Boranes 5SS and 15SS provide enantiomeric alcohols.
