This monograph has been written to demonstrate to organic chemists and graduate students the strategies for controlling sterochemistry in carbon-carbon bond formations with borane intermediates. The boranes were initially found to be useful reagents by Nobel Laureate H.C. Brown. Their precursors are commercially available and derivatization is fast, clean and simple.

"...this is the type of book that could only be written by a scholar who has devoted many years to organoboron chemistry. Matteson has done it, and done it well." - Synthesis
