Abstract

9-Borabicyclo (3.3.1) noname (9-BBN), a relatively stable solid dialkylborane, can be used to reduce a wide variety of reducible chemical compounds, including both organic and inorganic compounds. The stability of the reagent greatly reduces the operating difficulties encountered with other dialkylboranes having similar reduction properties, which are thermally and hydrolytically unstable.
