Hydroboration of commercially available (+)-2-carene (96% ee) with either BH2Cl center dot SMe2 or BC13/Me3SiH, provides chemically pure B-chlorobis(2-isocaranyl)borane (2-(d)Icr(2)BCl) whereas B-bromobis(2-isocaranyl)borane (2-(d)Icr(2)BBr) could only be prepared by Matteson's BBr3/Me3SiH procedure in high chemical yield and purity. The enantionteric excess achieved with 2-(d)Icr(2)BCl (78%), was significantly higher than those realized with the previously explored reagent, (IPC2BCl)-I-d (41%), especially for meso-cyclohexene oxide. The new reagent, 2-(d) Icr(2)BBr also showed considerable improvements in enantiomeric excesses, in the cases of meso-cyclopentene oxide (67%) and meso-cis-2,3-butene oxide (78%) than those achieved with the previously reported reagent, (IPC2BBr)-I-d (57% and 61%, respectively).
