  • Patent number: 6855848
    Abstract: A process for preparing bisallylboranes of the formula (I) by reacting a diene with sodium borohydride in the presence of an oxidant: in an inert solvent, with the borane generated in situ reacting selectively with the diene to form the bis(allyl)borane of the formula (I) and the substituents R1 to R6 having the following meanings: R114 R6 are H, aryl or substituted or unsubstituted C1-C4-alkyl or two radicals R may be closed to form a cyclic system. As oxidant, it is possible to use, for example, alkyl halides or dialkyl sulfates. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the diene used is 2,5-dimethylhexa-2,4-diene (R1, R2, R5, R6=methyl, R3, R4=H).
