Abstract: The cyclic hydroboration of 2,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene was studied. It was found that the stereochemical outcome of the reaction was dependent upon the solvent, temperature, time, and the nature of the borane reagent. Monobromoborane in carbon tetrachloride at 76 oC gave after 8 hr a 4:1 mixture of trans:cis-2,5-diisopropylborolane. Pure racemic trans-2,5-diisopropyl borolane was isolated following selective complexation of the cis-2,5-diisopropylborolane with 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-pyrrolidine.
