Design of bicyclic and cage boron compounds based on allylboration of acetylenes with allyldichloroboranes.

Allylboration of acetylenes with allyldichloroboranes has been proposed as a first step of allylboron-acetylene condensation and a way to design condensation products from stage to stage. The chemistry has been applied to the synthesis of isomeric 3-borabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes transformed into 3-methyl-1-boraadamantane and [5-D]-3-methyl-1-boraadamantane derivatives.

Practical synthesis of hex-5-ynoic acid from cyclohexanone

Hex-5-ynoic acid, a multipurpose synthon, was synthesized in three steps starting from cyclohexanone by bromination-dehydrobromination of the intermediate hex-5-enoic acid.
