Abstract

An interesting extension to this chemistry was discovered when transition metals were found to accelerate the addition of B−H bonds to unsaturated organic moieties using polyhedral boranes.(5) Männig and Nöth then demonstrated that rhodium complexes could be used to catalyze the hydroboration of alkenes with HBcat under mild conditions and with selectivities differing from that of the uncatalyzed reaction.(6) Since this remarkable discovery, a considerable ...
