Abstract

Nickel boride has been reported as a convenient and efficient reagent in numerous transformations. 1–5 It is superior to many other metal catalysts due to its low cost, ease of preparation and handling, non-pyrophoric nature and easy removal. Unlike its initial applications as a heterogeneous catalyst, nickel boride is used as a reducing agent without aid of hydrogen as it contains adsorbed hydrogen. 1 Nickel boride, prepared in situ, has ...
