Title: Toward a potential total synthesis of gelsemine: A regioselective hydroboration directed by a remote olefin
Abstract:Hydroboration of bicyclo[3.2.1]octa-2,6-diene derivatives occurred exclusively on one olefin, and within this olefin, remarkable regioselective addition of boron to one carbon terminus was observed. T...Hydroboration of bicyclo[3.2.1]octa-2,6-diene derivatives occurred exclusively on one olefin, and within this olefin, remarkable regioselective addition of boron to one carbon terminus was observed. This regioselectivity was significantly improved with more electrophilic hydroborating agents. The regioselectivity is attributed to the directive effect of a remote olefin.Read More
