Abstract

Catecholborane is a versatile reagent. Unfortunately, it only hydroborates alkenes and alkynes at elevated temperatures (70-100 "C).1-3 In recent years, there have been several reports on the catalysis of catecholborane hydroborations at 25 "C using transition metal complexes. For example, alkyl catecholboranes can be prepared from alkenes and catechol- borane at ambient temperatures in the presence of the Wilkinson catalyst (Ph3P)3RhC14 and related ...
