The kinetics and mechanism of hydroboration of oct-1-and-4-ene with a series of dimeric dialkylboranes was investigated. The kinetic results showed that the hydroboration of terminal olefins proceeds via a three-halves-order mechanism, first-order with respect to the olefin and one-half-order with respect to the dimer. Using dicyclohexylborane, diisopinocamphenylborane, and 3,6-dimethylborepane the observed rate constants for the hydroboration of oct-4-ene were approximately 6 times smaller than those for oct-1-ene. Supporting computations showed that both steric and electronic effects influence the rate of hydroboration of both internal and terminal olefins. A model computational study of the isomerization of oct-4-ene with di(prop-2-yl)borane showed that formation of the terminal hydroborated complex is thermodynamically favored over the internal complex.
