    • Efficient hydride-assisted isomerization of alkenes via rhodium catalysis 

      Morrill, Terence; D'Souza, Christopher (The American Chemical Society: Organometallics, 2003-04-14)
      We find that alkenes isomerize rapidly in the presence of catalytic amounts of a hydroborating reagent and a rhodium compound. The hydroborating reagent is apparently responsible for the in situ generation of a metal hydride ...

    • Transition-metal-promoted hydroboration of alkenes: a unique reversal of regioselectivity 

      Morrill, Terence; D'Souza, Christopher; Yang, Lu; Sampognaro, Anthony (The American Chemical Society: The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2002-04-19)
      When hydroboration of 1-octene is carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of rhodium trichloride followed by the usual oxidation (hydrogen peroxide in aqueous alkali), only minor proportions of 1-octanol (2.4%) ...
