Abstract

Alkenes are prepared by the hydroboration of enamines followed by an elimination reaction to form the alkene. This process has wide applicability and is useful for the stereospecific synthesis of [Z] isomers. It is preferred to use 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1 nonane as the hydroborating agent and to use methanol to catalyze the elimination reaction.
