The use of transition metals to catalyse the addition of hydridoboranes to unsaturated
organic molecules was initially realised several decades ago. Although this area of …

The chemoselective catalytic hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones has found
widespread applications in organic chemistry due to the synthetic utility of borate ester …

The opening of epoxides typically requires electrophilic activation, and subsequent
nucleophilic (SN2) attack on the less substituted carbon leads to alcohols with Markovnikov …

Light alkali metal hydridotriphenylborates M [HBPh3](M= Li, Na, K), characterized as tris {2-
(dimethylamino) ethyl} amine (L) complexes [(L) M][HBPh3], act as efficient catalysts for the …

The well-defined aluminum monohydride compound [{(2, 4, 6-Me3-C6H2) NC (Me)} 2

Rapid, clean hydroboration of ketones and aldehydes with HBpin is achieved using the
homoleptic rare-earth catalyst La [N (SiMe3) 2] 3 (LaNTMS). The reaction employs low …

Studies of the stoichiometric and catalytic reactivity of a geometrically constrained
phosphorous triamide 1 with pinacolborane (HBpin) are reported. The addition of HBpin to …

Homoleptic lanthanide trisamides provide a simple and highly accessible bridge between
organolanthanide chemistry and the synthetic methodology community, and although they …

Ruthenium-catalyzed hydroboration of nitriles and imines is attained using pinacolborane
with unprecedented catalytic efficiency. Chemoselective hydroboration of nitriles over esters …

We report an operationally convenient room temperature hydroboration of aldehydes and
ketones employing Fe (acac) 3 as precatalyst. The hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones …
