Abstract:
Starting from some meso-methyl Bodipy dyes, the corresponding meso-styryl derivatives were synthesized by regioselective Knoevenagel-type condensation with different aromatic aldehydes. The reactions were driven by the alleviation of the structural strain of the alkyl substituted Bodipys that could override the differential acidities of the methyl protons at the pyrrole ring of the Bodipy moiety.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
