Application

Dicyclohexyliodoborane (Chx2BI) can be used as a reagent:
  • For the enolboration of esters and tertiary amides to synthesize corresponding Z or E enolates.[1][2]
  • In the stereoselective preparation of β-hydroxy-α-trifluoromethyl carboxylic acids via haloborane-mediated diastereoselective aldol addition of aldehydes with trifluoropropanoic acid.[3]
  • In the total synthesis of pordamacrine A,[4] and trocheliophorolide D.[5]

Reactant for:
  • Preparation of vinyloxyboranes
