Abstract: Alkene hydroboration provides a convenient route to generate organoborane synthons and recent efforts to develop catalysts for this and many other organic transformations have involved a shift to Earth-abundant first row transition metals. Herein, we… read more here.

Abstract: We have developed C6F5BH2·SMe2 as a unique, metal-free precatalyst for alkene hydroboration. It combines high reactivity and excellent regio- and chemoselectivity. Mechanistic studies reveal that the catalyst's structure is nearly ideal: the transborylation step occurs… read more here.
