This review serves to document advances in the synthesis, versatile bonding, and reactivity
of molecular main group metal hydrides within Groups 1, 2, and 12–16. Particular attention …

The addition of a B–H bond to an unsaturated bond (polarized or unpolarized) is a powerful
and atom-economic tool for the synthesis of organoboranes. In recent years, s-block …

Hydroboration of alkynes is of special interest to researchers since it is the most
straightforward process for the synthesis of highly important vinylborane synthetic …

The aluminum-catalyzed hydroboration of alkenes with HBpin is reported using simple
commercially available aluminum hydride precatalysts [LiAlH4 or sodium bis (2 …

An aluminum‐catalyzed hydroboration of alkynes using either the commercially available
aluminum hydride DIBAL‐H or bench‐stable Et3Al⋅ DABCO as the catalyst and H‐Bpin as …

The palladium-catalyzed oxidative borylation reaction of N-tosylhydrazones has been
developed. The reaction features mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and good …

A magnesium‐catalyzed hydroboration of alkynes providing good yields and selectivities for
a wide range of terminal and symmetrical and unsymmetrical internal alkynes has been …

The reaction of LH [L={(ArNH)(ArN)–C= N–C=(NAr)(NHAr)}; Ar= 2, 6-Et2-C6H3] with a
commercially available alane amine adduct (H3Al· NMe2Et) in toluene resulted in the …

Organozinc compounds containing sp, sp2, and sp3 C–Zn moieties undergo transmetalation
with pinacolborane (HBPin) to produce Zn–H species and organoboronate esters (RBPin) …

Contrary to recent reports, the dehydrocoupling of pinacol borane and 9-borabicyclononane
with a variety of amines, alcohols and thiols can be achieved under mild conditions without …
