Critical Role of Catalysts and Boranes for Controlling the Regioselectivity in the Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroboration of Fluoroolefins

摘要

Catalytic hydroboration of perfluoroalkylethylenes (R_FCH=CH_2) with cationic and neutral rhodium complexes allows for selective access to either regioisomeric alcohol after hydroboration with catechol- and pinacolboranes, followed by oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide.
