Conclusions
-
1.
The reaction of CO with tricyclohexylborane in diglyme, in the presence of ethylene glycol, gives the cyclic glycol ester of tricyclohexylcarbinylboric acid, which when oxidized with H2O2 is quantitatively converted to tricyclohexylcarbinol.
-
2.
The addition of Na leads to the formation of an adduct, the oxidation of which gives dicyclohexylcarbinol. The addition of either NaBH4 or LiAlH4 fails to affect the direction of the reaction.
