title: Stereoselective synthesis of anti-1,4-diols by a BH3.THF-mediated rearrangement of 1,2-disubstituted cyclobutenes.
abstract: A new stereoselective rearrangement of cyclobutylboranes, obtained by the hydroboration of 1,2-disubstituted cyclobutenes, provides anti-1,4-diols with good-to-excellent diastereoselectivity. The mechanism of the rearrangement is discussed based on theoretical calculations.
