Diisopinocampheylborane (Ipc2BH) is a chiral organoborane, readily employed for the production of many asymmetric products used in total synthesis. It is a crystalline material that can be prepared as a single enantiomer via the hydroboration of two equivalents of α-pinene with borane.Explain why only one enantiomer of Ipc2BH is formed.
