20. Alkyldiethylboranes, easily obtained by hydroboration with diethylborane (R. Köster, P. Binger, Inorganic Synthesis 1974, 15, 141-149), gave results similar to the ones obtained by Brown with compound 1. For instance, addition of cyclohexene to methyl vinyl ketone was achieved in 77% yield without addition of oxygen. However, when cyclohexenone was used as the radical trap, addition of oxygen was necessary and a 3:1 mixture resulting from the addition of cyclohexyl and ethyl radicals was observed.
