Abstract:
Contacting a LIO with a borane isomerization catalyst in a reaction vessel to form a mixture that includes an adduct formed from the LIO and the borane isomerization catalyst, the adduct having an alkyl group bonded to boron at a non-terminal position of the alkyl group, isomerizing the adduct to move the alkyl group bonded to boron to a terminal position of the alkyl group, and dehydroborating the adduct in the presence of a scavenger olefin to form a LAO and a scavenger adduct that is formed from the scavenger olefin and the borane isomerization catalyst.
