Abstract

Hydroboration is one of the most widely used reactions in organic synthesis!'] A wide variety of borane reagents have been reported such that a library of reagents exists tailored to many different chemical situations. We were interested in the electrophilic and potentially very reactive borane HB (C, F,), for possible applications in generation of soluble Ziegler-Natta- type olefin polymerization catalysts. These studies revealed this borane to be an ...
