Abstract

Amine-coordinated borane complexes suffer from poor stability, thus limiting their application in synthesis. 5 On the other hand, N-heteroaromatic compound-coordinated boranes, such as PyBH 3 , provide improved stability and have been applied to several interesting transformations recently. 6 Some reported N-heteroaromatic boranes include pyridineboranes and pyridine derivative boranes, imidazoleboranes and 1,2,4-triazole-boranes as shown in Scheme 1A. 7 ...
