Application

Dicyclohexyliodoborane (Chx2BI) can be used as a reagent:
  • For the enolboration of esters and tertiary amides to synthesize corresponding Z or E enolates.
  • In the stereoselective preparation of β-hydroxy-α-trifluoromethyl carboxylic acids via haloborane-mediated diastereoselective aldol addition of aldehydes with trifluoropropanoic acid.
  • In the total synthesis of pordamacrine A, and trocheliophorolide D.

Reactant for:
  • Preparation of vinyloxyboranes
