Disiamylborane (bis(1,2-dimethylpropyl)borane, Sia₂BH) is an organoborane used in organic synthesis. It is used for hydroboration–oxidation reactions of terminal alkynes, giving aldehydes via anti-Markovnikov hydration followed by tautomerization. Disiamylborane is relatively selective for terminal alkynes and alkenes vs internal alkynes and alkenes.^[1] Disiamylborane is prepared by hydroboration of trimethylethylene with diborane.^[1] The reaction stops at the secondary borane due to steric hindrance.

Naming[]

The name siamyl is an abbreviation for "sec-isoamyl".
