N2  - The mechanism of the reaction of &#945;,&#945;-dibromocyclohexanones with organoboranes has been investigated, and is suggested to occur by attack of base on bromine in the ketone-borane adduct, followed by rate-determining alkyl group transfer from boron to carbon. Labelling studies show that the extra proton in the products comes from the solvent, tetrahydrofuran.
