Borane–tetrahydrofuran (BH 3 –THF) is a charge-transfer complex that is a useful surrogate for diborane 1 in organic synthesis. It can be used to reduce carboxylic acids to alcohols or nitriles to ...
A combination of organoboron and radical chemistry generates unusual trans-selectivity in hydroboration of alkynes. The use of N-heterocyclic carbene boranes is key to the success of this chemical ...
Organoboron compounds have been widely used to create new organic molecules since Prof. Suzuki, a 2010 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, developed palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions with ...
