Asymmetric hydroborations of cyclopropene

Catalysed hydroborations of cyclopropanes had not been studied until Rubina, Rubin and Gevorgyan noteed the arena (J Am Chem Soc 2003 125 7198) They plant that pinacolborane, rather than the more widely used catecholborane, was a superior reagent and [Rh(COD)CI]2/phosphine mixtures were useful catalysts. Ester arranges as in cyclopropene 1, direct the hydroboration to be met with on the same face to
