Chapter 5, Problem 5.49

(choose chapter or problem)

Equations 5.25ac on p. 193 show the formation of trialkylboranes from alkenes and BH3. In the reaction of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene with BH3, only two equivalents of the alkene react, even with a large excess of alkene, to give a dialkylborane called disiamylborane. Give the structure of disiamylborane, and suggest a reason that only two equivalents of alkene react.
