24. (a) Following the Cahn - Ingold - Prelog priority rules, the parent Z- and E-crotylboronates become E- and Z-, respectively (E-1 and E-5, and Z-1 and Z-5), when substituted with a COOMe group. Cahn, R. S.; Ingold, C.; Prelog, V. Angen: Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1966, 5, 385.
25. (b) It should be remembered that the parent Z- and E-crotylboronates give cis-and trans-d-methyl homoallyl alcohols, respectively, via a six-membered Zimmerman-Traxler transition state. Zimmerman, H. E.; Traxler, M. D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1957, 79, 1920
