title: Organolanthanide-catalyzed cyclization/boration of 1,5- and 1,6-Dienes.
abstract: [figure: see text] 1,5- and 1,6-Dienes undergo a cyclization/boration reaction in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cp*2Sm.THF. The resulting organoboranes can be oxidized to the corresponding primary cyclic alcohols using standard conditions.
