42. Nucleophilic additions to related trans cyclopropanes usually occur without stereoinduction, see reference [9]. In our case, the very high stereochemical control observed is dominated by the stereochemistry of the allylborating agent and by the influence of the 9-BBN moiety. 9-BBN = 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane.
