Cationic Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroboration: Investigations into Electronic and Ligand Effects; Lewis-Acid Reaction Acceleration and Regioselectivity Change

Mechanistic aspects of the asymmetric rhodium catalyzed hydroboration of vinyl arenes with catecholborane (HBCat) and pinacolborane (HBPin) have been probed. Competition studies conducted with catalysts bearing asymmetric ligands Josiphos or Quinap reveal substituent effects of varying sensitivity c...
