Rhodium-catalyzed hydroborations of trisubstituted alkenes are generally slow and often suffer from competing alkene isomerization. In contrast, the trisubstituted alkene moieties contained within the framework of a beta,gamma-unsaturated amide undergo facile reaction, perhaps facilitated by carbonyl directing effects and two-point binding of the substrate to the rhodium catalyst. Stereoisomeric substrates, for example, (E)- and (Z)-3, cleanly give rise to diastereomeric products, and thus the r ...[more]
