9-Allyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane could be used as an allylating reagent for aldehydes, ketones, acid chlorides, amides, and acid anhydrides; reagent for diastereo- and enantioselective allylation of aldimines; diastereoselective allylation of acetals[1-9].

The Preparative Method of 9-Allyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane: prepared from Allyl Bromide and B-methoxy-9-BBN according to a literature  procedure. Crotyl-9-BBN and 2-methallyl-9-BBN are similarly prepared from the corresponding allylic bromides.

Handling, Storage, and Precautions: the neat liquid is highly flammable and must be stored in the absence  of air and moisture. 9-Allyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (Allyl-9-BBN) may be kept as a CH2Cl2 or THF solution under N2 atmosphere. Use in a fume hood.
