Qiuming Liang, Hector A. Garcia Mayerstein, Datong Song
Abstract
The binding and activation of boranes by transition-metal compounds are relevant to catalytic hydroboration reactions. Herein, we report the stoichiometric reactivity of a piano-stool iron complex toward a series of boranes, where the joint action of the metal center and the ligand active site has been observed, as well as the catalytic activity of this iron complex toward the hydroboration of various N -heterocycles.
