title: Stereocontrol in N-directed hydroboration: synthesis of amino alcohols related to the piperidine alkaloids.
abstract: Treatment of 2-(2'-alkenyl)-piperidine boranes with iodine or triflic acid induces internal hydroboration with high regiocontrol, even with a terminal alkene (R = H). Good stereocontrol is possible for the N-benzyl substrates. Comparisons with acyclic model structures show that the source of regiocontrol with the terminal alkene is due to a steric effect of the axial piperidine C(3,5) hydrogens that destabilize the competing bridged bicyclic transition state.
